    Private One Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver Round...

    Proof strike.

    Nice round, but not by the US mint, but a Private Mint.

    Thank you. Do you know how many were minted and by whom?

    They were minted by the National Collectors Mint. That bastion of bull dinky that brought you the copy of the US Mint gold buffalo in .9999999999 gold plated perfection.

    I would pay spot price and maybe a buck or two over that. ( Not an offer to buy ) Just sayin that's what I think it's worth, but I have not bought any silver for bullion investment in a long time. I bet they had a lot of them made. Wonder what the other side of the round looks like?

    Shoot 'NickelGuy, they's an insult to collectors and an abomination to 'stackers'..........

    It has little value over its silver content to the great majority of folks in this hobby. It is one troy ounce silver in the form of a private round. It should be worth spot melt price +/- a few dollars to most folks.

    therocktjb Wait, what**

    It's the image you see on the COA minus all the writing about the coin...

    Not saying that the coin is plated, but with that Mint I wouldn't put it past them to just plate the heck out of it and pass it off as pure.
