<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 26410161, member: 76194&quot;]Hecla is the 2nd largest silver producer in the United States. In late 1981 they did a merger with another mine, and to celebrate they released this silver round.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1685113[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What you&#039;re looking at on the obverse is the entrance shaft machinery for the Lucky Tuesday Mine, one of the largest silver, zinc and lead mines in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1685116[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now how cool is that? And the design&nbsp; the way it&#039;s depicted on the round is clean and slick, really looks futuristic and not 1980s.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the next one it&#039;s another H&amp;H round for you guys.

Like many refiners of the time, they would occasionally recycle the same obverse or reverse with a totally different design on the other side, and presto....a new round to sell to the public. Perhaps low effort, but for sure high rewards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
