Today I am going to take a closer look at my Nightmares of the Fall 2016 round. It has a spooky Halloween theme to it. I was lucky enough to get this from silvervessel@silvervessel. We did a trade quite awhile ago.

The Nightmares of the Fall 2016 round is minted by Heads or Tails Coins and Collectables. I checked on their website and was surprised they still have some available and it’s on sale for $49 plus shipping. I was amazed to see how different statues Heads or Tails Coins and Collectables sold. The round was designed by Aleksey Saburov.

Obverse-
It features scary looking tree that almost has a human look it because the branches are made to look like creepy hands and crazy hair. This side has the inscription of HAPPY HALLOWEEN and the year. The weight, purity and mint mark are also on this side.

Reverse-
This side is full of detail. I was so focused on details like the bat, spider web, spider, branches and the outline of the pumpkin, I missed the big picture. As I look at this today I noticed it all comes together as an outline of a skull. I am not exactly sure of what the meaning of the 1936 but I think it's the production number.

Thanks for looking at and taking a closer look at Nightmares of the Fall 2016 round. Did you see the skull right away when you look at the round? Have a great evening!
