Happy Sunday silver lovers! I thought I'd showcase a few pretty cool 1 oz Silver rounds.

First up is one of my favorites, it's the Engelhard prospector. This is a classic piece featuring the prospector panning for gold. Engelhard products have became pretty sought after and this is a pristine example here folks

Keeping with the theme the next one is the Provident prospector. It's a generic piece but they nailed the design. I love that the old dude got his donkey with him and this would have been a familiar sight during the gold rush. The back of this round is amazingly detailed so let's take a look..

To show how the equipment changed we go from pick axes pans and donkeys to a dude with modern equipment operating in a mine..this is a Northwest Territorial Mint piece. This company blew up and went out of business. I saved this round from a friend that was melting a bunch down to pour some silver bars

This round below is a vintage World Trade Unit piece. It's got scales, globes and a whole lotta cool going on

Last up is a round that not many of you would have seen. It's a Sprott Metals 1 oz round. It's got a maple leaf on the obverse and a inukshuk on the reverse. The inukshuk is a pile of rocks that would have been assembled to let others trekking through the artic know where water or a village would be. It's a classic piece of Canadiana and I think pretty cool

Love the engelhard!

Really like the first two :) I really like the Provident one - really nice for being a generic round! Great pieces my dude.

I love silver! I find it more fun buying different pieces rather than buying all the cheapest generic stuff. I pay a bit more but it's alot more fun to look at. Thx for looking bud 👊😎

Agreed. I go through phases in my mind where I feel like I should sell everything except for the ASEs and buy ASEs with that money.

I hear u. There's alot of times I think of selling all my silver and buying gold lol. I love silver but I'm obsessed with gold. There's more upside for AG tho I think? Still gold mesmerizes me!

I've thought about that too. Same here. I love silver until I see gold next to it.

Oh man they look so good together too tho! Haha #metaljunkies

Yeah they do :)

Great rounds, I really like the Prospector a lot personally. The older design that is.

Yeah for sure that's a classic. Thanks for stopping by my friend, stay tuned for more hot metal action!

Love seeing all this awesome silver. I'm curious about the sprott peice, are they currently being minted and where did you get it? It looks pretty new.

Sprott had em on their website last time I was on there..maybe a month ago? I got this one at my lcs

Awesome thx a lot dude

Awesome, the International Universal Trade Unit from World Trade is really cool!

Yeah it's official. Really good shape for a round from 1973 . Thanks is for popping in @silvernova

I've got a couple of the Provident prospectors and I'm surprised by their detail! It really is well done, generic or not! Thanks for sharing the cool pieces with us, GA 😎👍
