Additional vintage silver rounds

With silver reaching for new heights, more vintage silver rounds are coming out of the woodworks for those who like that kind of stuff. Here's a few additional vintage rounds I have managed to acquire lately.


Constitution Mint was active in the 1970s and '80s, and they put out a series of patriotic rounds with passages from the constitution on the reverse, mostly pertaining to the mintage of gold and silver.


Liberty Lobby seemed to also be active through the 70s and into the 80s, and they had different rounds with patriotic obverse, and the reverses were all the same with an eagle resembling a little the eagle on the half dollar.


I don't know much about this mint, but I thought the World Trade and Commerce reverse with the map of the world was very neat. They were obviously active in the 1970s, though I'm not sure how much longer they lasted after that.


This next one is on unatributed to any mint, though I have seen similar ones that were branded to another mint, American Pacific Mint, which I suspect also had a hand in these, and based on the time frame that the similar branded ones were struck, I would suspect this one was struck between 1980 and 1985.


Sunshine Mining, now known as Sunshine Mint, started making these rounds in the very early 1980s, and they still make somewhat similar rounds to this day. This is an absolute classic.

Well, political rounds have always been a staple of the stacking community, and here we have a very rare and unusual 1990 round poking fun at George Bush, Sr. for going back on his pledge to not raise taxes. I don't know who made them, and I've been able to find very few references, which leads me to believe that they are fairly rare.



And last but not least, I remember seeing these types of rounds selling somewhere in the mid-2000s, circa 2005 or so, so they are at least 20 years old. It commemorates the loss of the space shuttle Columbia. I am not sure which mint was responsible for them though.

 

Space Shuttle Challenger was the commemoration for that silver round. Very easy to confuse the two.
