These are interesting due to the designer / engraver. These were co-designed / engraved by Heidi Wastweet, an artist and rare woman mint engraver.

I like trying to acquire examples of her work when possible.

These are consecutive year SLIVER BULLET / SILVER SHIELD issues (2013/2014).

I really like these. Awesome design and the Logo couldn't be more true i will be on the lookout for these. Thank you for posting Z.

 

Here are a few resources on the artist.

I would LOVE to capture a few more of her pieces . . . . .

There are quite a few in the public domain. One just needs to become familiar with them, then grab them up when they become available.

I was exceedingly fortunate to have acquired the piece below. It was given to me by last year's "Secret Santa." I had no idea about it's design or origin until, I got to the very last medal in the second link above.

Take a look at the extreme bottom of the page.

Excellent! Thank you much. I will be on the prowl for any Heid Wastweet's. Thanks Z

 

That's very impressive. Looks like an Aztec calendar?
Very nice.

YES ... It is.
I've got the silver round to go with.

 

Thanks for posting I will be looking to add these to my collection aswell. I find Ancient culture's and civilisations facinating

 

The Aztec calendar round is a tough act to follow.

I received these 1 oz. Bars in today's mail.

 

Remember when some people thought that the world was going to end in December 21, 2012 when the Mayan calendar ended? A little something to commemorate.

 

I remember the 2012 Non Apocalypse well lol.
But nothing beats the covid toilet paper hoarding epidemic that was the greatest of all

 

Resurrecting this dormant thread.

I picked up some challenge coins recently from the Commander of the USS Lincoln.

100% copper rounds as well.

I recently posted this one in its own thread but it’s do nice here it is again. The Doolittle Raid on Tokyo.

 

I once collected them when they were reasonably priced. People want too much for them now days.

 

That's how I've gotten all of my copper rounds. Some companies will throw in a 'matching copper round' when buying silver.
