Afternoon everyone….
We’ve had some really nice weather over the last two week. Most days are sunny and fairly warm, low 70’s high 60’s.
Well that all changed early yesterday morning and continued all throughout today. The skies opened up just before midnight and lightning and thunder.
It was windy as hell and the temperature was dropping quick. So much so that it snowed for two hours this morning.
Luckily my shop has a split unit and is wonderful to work in.
Today I’m sharing a 1981 Hoffman & Hoffman “Pegasus” silver round. This is one of my all time FAVORITE silver rounds. Silversaver had shown one off in a post just before Easter. I made a comment reading. “I wish that I had bought more”. The next thing I know this package showed up in my mailbox.
These rounds are rare, as per the Allengelhard website there were less than 5,000 minted.
Here is some info on the round from Numista:
