It is a magnificent Monday! How are you doing?
I received this in the mail last Friday. It is from Hiho! As many of you know already, Hiho is a stacker and pourer of YouTube. His mark is a horse on its hind legs on the letter "B". Bunker Bullion his trade name.
Let us take a look at this package with the numbers 030.
Wow, very nice and classy. It is a collaborative silver round of Bunker Bullion and Intaglio Mint.
This side reflects the theme of the silver round.
It is marked with 030/250 in the rim of the silver round. It indicates that this particular silver round is the 30th round of the 250 silver rounds minted.
The logo of Intaglio Mint and logo of Bunker Bullion are both engraved in the center of the round. The field of the silver round is populated by the words "In God We Trust". BUNKER BULLION is placed around the periphery of the coin with TWO TROY OUNCES .999 FINE SILVER below, surrounded by five stars on each side of the silver round.
On this side of the silver round is a depiction of a man in intense prayer. In the background is his horse amidst the trees. It is beautiful... and timely. With the things happening to our current economy, in God we trust!
It indicates the number of the silver round, the fineness of .999 Fine Silver, the weight of the 2 ounces, and the name "In God We Trust" Silver Round. Lastly a short description of the silver round and where it was minted.
George Washington is well known as a Christian believer. He was a regular church attender, Bible reader and giver to missionary organizations. He was known to leave his military camps often on Sundays to attend the services of any church he could find, no matter which denomination it happened to be. He was also a man of prayer, who would often be seen riding into the woods to find a solitary spot to pray, or might be found in his private quarters on his knees with the Bible opened, asking God for help in his endeavors. The Prayer at Valley Forge is a depiction of one of these moments of intense prayer. It is said that a local British loyalist named Isaac Potts came across Washington praying in the woods one cold, wintry day during that terrible winter of 1777 and 1778.
