There aren’t many online communities that can say they’ve had an impact on the precious metals marketplace. The Silverbug community on Reddit is the only one that can make that claim. The Silverbug series of proof silver rounds are popular beyond the community that inspired their design, and make a great investment vehicle or collector’s item for numismatists. Today, the 1 oz Proof Finding Silverbug round is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
- Limited mintage of just 20,000 silver rounds!
- Contains 1 oz of .999 pure silver.
- Fourth design in the Silverbug series.
- First Version design of the Welcome to Silverbug Island Series.
- Created by Silverbug community members.
- Ships in an Air-Tite capsule.
The online Silverbug community from Reddit is back with a new round design, and this time it’s inspired by the subreddit community’s Welcome to Silverbug Island. This round is the first in a new series of eight round designs that will track a pirate ship that is searching for buried treasure.
On the obverse face of the round is an intricate pirate-themed design. A cloudy sky features a compass in the background, while a pirate ship with “In Silver We Trust” on its sails floats in the shallow waters just off shore from an island. On the small plot of sand, an open treasure rests next to an X in the sand with the engraving of “2015,” the round’s year of issue.
The reverse of the 1 oz Proof Finding Silverbug Island Silver Round features a pirate ship with no sails that has run aground on an island of coins. The phrase “Welcome to Silverbug Island” is engraved above, while the weight, purity, and metal content of the round are engraved below.
Each round in this all-new series features a mirror-like finish on both sides. This round, like the three versions released before it in the Silverbug Series, features a design created by a member of the Silverbug community. In addition to this proof striking, Welcome to Silverbug Island rounds will be struck in Brilliant Uncirculated and antique versions.
The North American Mint is responsible for the production of these .999 pure silver rounds, and has established a limited mintage number for the Silverbug collection.
