Good day everyone. This is the last Silverbug round I have. It's the 1ozt Proof Whirlpool round. I really like both the Fairy and the Welcome to Silverbug Island series. I will get more as they come but I don’t think I would pay the additional premium for the proofs, probably would just go with the BU.
I decided to try and take the pictures of this one outside to see if it makes a difference. These rounds with a mirror finish are not the easiest to get a good picture. I think it helped show more of the details. The hardest part was trying to get the right angle so I didn’t get trees or my umbrella on the round.
Limited mintage of 20,000 on the proof (it doubled☹)
Minted by North American Mint
I will start with the side stamped unique number. 1616 not bad.
Obverse- Features the whirlpool right in the middle. The water has crazy good detail. The sea looks very angry. The whirlpool is trying to swallow up the pirate ship and the treasure chest. This is the same treasure chest that was featured on the first Silverbug Island round. It has Hold it Own it on the chest.
Reverse- same as all the others in this series.
Thank you for taking a look. Getting closer tomorrows Friday!
