Colloquially speaking, the graveyard shift is a late-night work shift that runs through the evening and into the morning. This timeframe is generally accepted as running from midnight until 8 am, and was originally coined based upon the assignment of some to walk the cemetery at night to watch over the graves of the dead.
All Graveyard Shift Silver Rounds have an antique finish for added beauty. Products with an antique finish vary from mint to mint, but by in large, products with this finish have added warmth in appearance and depth to the overall detail of the round. Additionally, your 1 oz Antique Graveyard Silver Round arrives in protective plastic with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
On the obverse of the Graveyard Shift Silver Round is the haunting image of Death as he strolls through the graveyard. His scythe is held tightly in his boney right hand, while his left hand extends a scroll featuring the names of the dead he seeks in the cemetery.
The reverse of each of these rounds includes a unique take on a fisherman out looking for a meal. Rather than casting a line in hopes of catching a meal, you’ll see a fish on shore casting out his line with a fisherman on the hook as a bait.
These rounds are a product of the Osborne Mint, with design from the Heads or Tales Coin Company. This year’s collection of Hobo Nickel Silver Rounds will feature only antique finish products with higher mintages to satisfy demand!
