It’s quite obviously the end of the year because I am sitting at my desk with a blanket, a heater, a sweater, and a jacket…yet, I am fairly sure I am in the pre-stages of hypothermia.
The fun in the ending of a year is remembering the last and looking forward to the next. Last week, we briefly discussed some of the craziness of 2016 and how it affected investing. I asked what metals you thought did well and why and where you thought the market was headed.
This week of reminiscing is much more fun because…drumroll…there is a giveaway!!! I’d like to review the best designs, mints, and metals of 2016 and see what design you might like to see Provident offer in 2017.
Here’s how it works. Below, there is a link to a *short* survey in which I ask you a few questions about your 2016 bullion buying experience.
After you answer the survey (5-10 min, max…you can do it!) leave me a comment below, letting me know your absolute favorite purchase, find, or bullion story from 2016 AND what size hoodie you wear.
There will be 3 winners, randomly selected from the comments below. Two lucky commenters will win the stylish, comfy Provident hoodie. One ultra lucky winner will receive not one, but two of the widely popular Provident Prospector 1 oz Silver Round Colt .45 Privy.
So, follow the link below to share your 2016 favorites. Remember, you must comment to be eligible to win! Winners will be selected by a random number generator. Entries will be accepted until 11:59 pm on December 31st. Winners will be announced Tuesday, January 3, 2017.
Take the survey! Comment below to win! 
And, if you haven’t finished your holiday shopping, don’t forget Provident Metals offers the best holiday gifting options you can find (in my humble opinion). Celebrate the end of the year by picking up a few more 2016 1 oz American Silver Eagles while spot prices are low!
Happy Stacking!

So, I hate to be the one who asks because it probably means I didn’t or won’t, but…
Who won the drawing? I keep looking for a posting but haven’t seen anything.
I know I just jinxed myself.
I apologize! The winners were emailed Tuesday. We will have more giveaways so keep checking back!

My favorite coin would be the Panda and private mint would Provident Prospector 1 oz round. I really like the way the website is laid out, it is very user friendly. Looking forward to seeing what new rounds you have in future. XL Hoodie
The Prospectors are such exquisite rounds. Great choice!

I have bought a myriad of metals from Provident. The Veteran’s discount is such a nice offer and keeps me loyal to Provident. My favorite items are the 90% & 40% junk silver, cull Morgan’s & Peace dollars, and the variety of rounds and bars by Provident. Thank you for being the best. Hoodie size is XXL.
We love our Veterans! 🙂
