Today we get to start a new 3 part silver series. The last time I was in the coin store, I was looking at some of their wares and seeing a lot of the same stuff that I already have. Nothing wrong with it, just unremarkable, plain generic rounds. I like something with a little more flavor.
Since I've gotten to know one of the owners fairly well, I asked if he had anything good in the back. After thinking for a minute he left to get something. When he came back, he had this bar... and two of its friends.
This is a Ford F-Series - 50 Years of Trucks silver bar.
I don't know what year they were actually minted. I can't imagine they minted one every year for 50 years. It was more likely that they were all minted the same year and released at the same time. I don't know where the other 47 years went, but maybe whoever sold these to the coin store had only purchased these three.
I really like them though. This was another one of those "don't think, just buy" moments. And at a reasonable price, I happy to have added such unique pieces. Now I have to look for the other 47 (if they exist) and see if GM did something similar.
Stay tuned for the other two bars that I got in this series!
