The Privateer Series is undoubtedly one of the well-like pirate-themed series minted in the last 5 years. The Kraken high relief silver round is a favorite of many stackers, myself included.
The kraken (/ˈkrɑːkən/) is a legendary cephalopod-like sea monster of gigantic size in Scandinavian folklore. According to the Norse sagas, the kraken dwells off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes nearby sailors. Authors over the years have postulated that the legend may have originated from sightings of giant squids that may grow to 13–15 meters (40–50 feet) in length. The sheer size and fearsome appearance attributed to the kraken have made it a common ocean-dwelling monster in various fictional works. The kraken has been the focus of many superstitious sailors passing the North Atlantic and especially sailors from the Nordic countries due to their proximity and its Scandinavian origin. Throughout the centuries the kraken has been a staple part of sailors' superstitions and mythos being heavily linked to sailors' ability of telling a tall tale. Source
Intaglio Mint, a private, boutique minting operation released this silver round as a limited series. Unlike other rounds, this one bears the 2020 year date. I think that it is a good addition to my 2020 silver stack. It also makes me wonder if the mint plans to release a 2021 silver round along the same theme.

Thanks for sharing the Silver Kraken, Silversaver888. You've got the coolest coins in your stack.
And so do you, @cve3! You have a great looking stack yourself... I wish to see more of them here on Hive. I have to remember to go to steemit. I am trying to manage my time better, and somehow, I fail to go back there to respond to comments and upvote and comment on articles. I'll try to do better this coming week ith my work schedules easing up a bit.
Have a wonderful Sunday, my friend, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

The Intaglio mint 2020 Silver Kraken Round is striking @silversaver888 awesome addition to the stack!!!
I also love the very deep relief of the Privateer Series!! I found these at my LCS online tonight...Oh my he wants $80.00 for the two Oz Privateer...I will pass LOL!
Stack on my friend!!😍😍😀
Do you know that Intaglio has many of their designs struck in 2 oz rounds also? I recall that 2 oz rounds are your preferred size. I know, right?! The Privateer rounds are really scarce now, and not many are available at the price we want them for. I lucked out that I got all mine at the time they were released.
But really, there is no need to go back to previously minted silver. There are many beautiful silver designs coming out, that is if we are after designs at all. Generic silver, silver coins... silver is silver. No one really cares. What is important is that we stack, and continue to stack to save in value!
Yup... STACK ON, my friend @silvertop, and take care ake care 🥰🌺🤙
!tip
That's how I look at it at the moment @silversaver888! The Mrs will pick out a nice silver round, that's what she likes to do, but I have reached the point where I stack for Oz's!😀
Yes just stack on my friend!!😍😍😀
I wish I could get more every month. But I put so many restrictions on my buying (anything) to be sure that I am not buying because I am a spender. Hmmm.. did I say that correctly? Sometimes I dunno if I make sense.
Lol ...I can relate to that @silversaver888!😀 Sometimes I just need to put the Brakes on......the Mike inside could spend.....It's investing correct !😇
Have a nice night my friend!😍😍😀
... and really... there is no hurry! investing as in savings in for life... the long haul!
That is so correct @silversaver888, that's why it's so important to start early, and just continue!!!
Take care my friend!!!😍😍😀

Sweet round @silversaver888! I got my first round from Intaglio just recently and it is top quality for sure. Good show!
For some reason I feel like watching Pirates of the Caribbean right now :)
Posted Using LeoFinance
They produce great strikes, don't they? And the designs are unique, which is wonderful... and limited quantities. Then they go for higher premiums in the secondary market. Looks like an ideal silver to get if one is a flipper.
Hehehe... me too... I think I will go watch me some Pirates f the Caribbean!!!
Have a great evening, my friend @summertooth, and take care 🥰🌺🤙.

Difficult to decide which is better; The Intaglio Mythological creatures version or the Privateer.
Another in my stack is my MK Barz version but I forget when I posted it.
Always, with love from the High Seas. Yo, ho ho and all that stuff ☠️ 🌹 💖 🌼
Did you notice how pretty the MK Bar 1 ounce rounds are? You know his version of his logo bar that he released with the other social media bars? I wish I had more of them.
Do you like his Mythological Creatures? This one is actually classified as cryptozoology, along with the 2020 Mermaid and the other scary creatures... then he's got a Wild West series too. There is just so much out there. I think I will just stick to doing the same thing every year... LOL!
Have a good week ahead, sis! When does vacation end? I hope not, LOL! I am asking for some time off. I need to take care of myself. I will know tomorrow.
Take care, my lovely sis @kerrislravenhill, 🥰🌺🤙. Lots of love💓💝 and a million and one Hugs and Kisses 🤗💕💋!

If we could only travel back in time, he makes alot cool silver. I still keep an eye on his new silver on IG.
A few days left. My kids and I are Hauling a pile of junk out of my yard and shed to the dumps tomorrow.
Had a chance to pick up the werewolf but not enough cash.
❤️ 🤗 🌷
Gosh, I have a storage unit, it is full! And I know some things in there have sentimental value, but all else I don't think I have any use for. I really need to attend to it. I haven't visited the unit for months, and I pay the price of 1/10 of an ounce of gold every month for that space! I wish I could just do it... I dunno why I don't. I guess these are the times when I need someone to make decisions for me or push me to do it! Urrrgh!!!!

I have that Kraken in both 1 and 2 oz. nice one bestie
I think that Intaglio Mint is poised to be one of the better private mints around. My photos don't do justice... I wish I had a better camera. But they do good work, and always priced reasonably. The owner designer is really creative. YOu know how this mint runs their silver designs in a series... for sure this is the start of a pirate-themed one. Hopefully, Intaglio MInt will fill the gap that Elemental Mint left open! You know what... perhaps I should get the 2 oz one (maybe they are available), just in case... to match my Privateer collection.
Have a great Sunday, bestie, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

Thank You Ms. Saver @silversaver888 for Showing the Kraken. I may have to look into picking Up a Few of These While SILVER is Still EXTREMELY Undervalued. I Appreciate You and am Grateful that you promote #PirateSunday ......
I really love #piratesunday. I think that it is so appropriate especially because many here love that theme! Some of the best designs in silver are likewise pirate-themed.
Thanks for being first to comment on this article, my friend! And I am really glad that you found your way to Hive. I still post articles on Steemit. I just need to be more consistent. I'd hate to waste resources and the ability to generate some steem and then covert them to Hive for splinterlands cards. BTW, Thanks for the card. I do like mermaid cards!
Have a wonderful #piratesinday, @stokjockey, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

You are Such a Sweet Lady and of course you are my Favorite Mermaid @silversaver888 ........the Healer is a Great Card....
I really should use the healer more often! I've been successively losing battles lately. Urrrgh!!!😢😱
I have Faith in Your Abilities and I Know you just get Better and Better......... @silversaver888
I am an average player, and if I can only find the patience and more time to play, I know I will be better, @stokjockey 🥰🌺🤙

Beautiful round! I like Intaglio Mint's pieces.
I think that instead of buying just any generic round, I will check their site first. They do have some great looking American patriotic silver rounds!
Have a great evening, and take care, my friend @ronavel 🥰🌺🤙

I love the detail of that Kraken round and I am sure it looks way better in person. Thanks for sharing another great silver round.
Dragons, mermaids, unicorns, krakens... we will never get bored stacking, my friend. One can acquire one silver at a time... saving value and accumulating wealth, exchanging our ever-devaluing fiat into real "money" in the form of beautifully designed silver. How cool 😎is that?!!!!
Stack on, my friend, @maddogmike, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I only have the older Kraken,not this one, but nice to have something different to collect
I prefer these two Kraken Silver Rounds and other hand-poured depictions of it, and do not care for the RCM Kraken coin design at all. That coin is last in my list, should I even decide to get it, LOL
Have a wonderful evening, @djohan, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

A very cool round sis! I love the pirate theme and remember the scene well from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. A scary monster for sure! The details on the obverse are nicely done! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely night! Much love and hugs to you!🤗💕😘🌸
Pirate-theme silver is so appealing to silver stackers. The best pirate silver collection is in the booty box of our stacking sis @kerrislravenhill!
Have a beautiful evening, my sweet sis @elizabethbit. Take care 🥰🌺🤙, lots of love and hugs💕😘🤗
