<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 812103, member: 18828&quot;]After losing 16 straight auctions on ebay, it does feel good to finally win an ebay auction.............</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]68290.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]68291.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It came in the mail today. It is a &quot;Benjamin Disraeli&quot; silver art round. It was minted in 1971. However, I will admit that I do not know the private mint that produced this silver art round. I weighed it on my digital scale and it weighed 1 troy oz. It is hard to tell from the pictures but &quot;Earl&quot; on the front of this silver round is slightly raised from the surface of the art round. It is not raised that much from the surface of this art round but enough to notice when I look at it from the side. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I won this &#039;70&#039;s silver art round on ebay on Super Bowl Sunday (February 7, 2010) and I paid $18.55 for it. Spot silver was about $15.10 at the time that I won this ebay auction Sunday night. I usually do not collect silver art rounds that much since I prefer &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars but I like the art work and the &quot;raised&quot; style appearance on the front and the fact that it is a 1971 mint year since this is my first 1971 mint year silver piece of any kind. The ebay transaction went smoothly and I am satisfied with this purchase. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As I mentioned earlier, I do not know the name of the mint that produced this silver art round but if there is anybody out there that knows who minted this art round, then feel free to tell me by posting on this thread because I honestly have no idea who minted this silver art round.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I apologize for the small pics. I am trying to get the pics bigger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
