## <center>Welcome to the final chapter in my ongoing struggle with Stackitus.</center>

###### <center>*FINAL? Who am I kidding? Final this week maybe...* 😄</center>

<hr>

##### <center>As you may be aware from previous posts [here](https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@dfinney/stackitus-explosion-part-1-of-4-birthday), [here](https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@dfinney/stackitus-explosion-part-2-of-4-hand-poured) and [here](https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@dfinney/stackitus-explosion-part-3-of-4-lcs) last week a major Stackitus flare up bit me right in the bum. Nothing but some added shiny would provide relief.</center>

*Round four started with this... STACKhunds!* 😄 *These two have received their yearly inoculations for canine stackitus - a rare but treatable disease...*

##### It all could have stopped at round three, a buying binge at my local coin shop. But what happens when you buy new loot? You lay it out and soak it in. Well, upon laying out my whole collection (for the close examination of me and my dachshunds) I discovered gaps.

# <center>Gaps?</center>

##### Yes, gaps.... You know, maybe you have every Perth Mint silver koala but the 2014... or perhaps you discover you are one bird of prey short in the RCM’s Birds of Prey coin series. I laid out all of my silver and upon discovering *gaps* went straight to [APMEX](https://www.apmex.com/) to sort my sh-t out. ☺️

*Too many bags and flips....* 😕

*The goods*

### Panda 🐼 Party
![0F2811A8-F281-4B44-A8EC-C6DFC9C3A9F3.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQiLHGHgrWjNCCaRmKNo6t4tL4wemEz3ZpwSwwFdU1E9g/0F2811A8-F281-4B44-A8EC-C6DFC9C3A9F3.jpeg)
Upon examination of my growing coin collection I realized I had pandas 2015-2017 but not the 2018. Now I don’t see myself trying to go back and collect *pandas of the past*, but I might as well keep the series filled moving forward. The 2018 Panda is 30 grams (slightly under 1oz) and .999 fine. The coin has a face value of 10 yuan.

## Perth Mint Wedge Tailed Eagle 2018

This is the third coin in the Perth Mint’s Wedge Tailed Eagle series. The 2016 and 2017 coins have the same design (I have 2017), but they changed things up for 2018. The coin is 1oz, .999 fine with a face value of $1AUD. A final mintage number will be determined at the end of 2018.

## Hammer Time!

The hammerhead shark is the second in a three coin 1/2oz coin series release by the Perth Mint. This coin is .999 silver, had a mintage of 150,000 and a $0.50AUD face value. I have the first coin in this series, which is a great white shark. Just need the tiger shark to finish the set. Oh and it is on APMEX! *Why didn’t I see this when I placed my last order?* 🤔 💭 

## Get Your Kicks!

Number two in a series celebrating America’s Mother Road (Route 66), this silver shield honors then state of Missouri. One shield will be released for each state crossed by the iconic route. The Missouri shield features St. Louis’s famous Gateway Arch. The monument is 630ft tall and was built in honor of America’s westward expansion. 

## Jaws

Here we have the 2015 Great White Shark of Tokelau. The coin is 1oz, .999 pure with a face value of $5.00. This coin is one of five released thus far honoring the sea life around Tokelau (a tropical island territory of New Zealand). I am still in search of the 2014 yellow fin tuna, but have the 2015-2018 releases in the series.

Let’s serve these last two as a combo platter since they both come from the Canadian Wildlife Series. First up is the 2012 cougar. This coin is 1oz, .9999 fine and has a face value of $5CAD. The mintage on this coin is 1 million. The statistics on the second coin, the 2011 Timber Wolfe, are the same. These coins are part of a six coin series which I completed with this purchase. HURRAH!!! ☺️

### <center>The August stackitus flare up will start next weekend when I head to the LCS to get capsules. Buying capsules always leads to buying silver. ☺️</center>

# <center>Keep On Stacking!</center>
