The introduction of the Engelhard Prospector Silver Round into the US silver industry changed the landscape for investors and collectors. At a moment in time when the price of silver was on a steady rise, Engelhard took a risk and marketed the silver bullion round to US investors and collectors. The success was unimaginable and unheard of! Today, JM Bullion offers to you the 1986 1 oz Engelhard Prospector Silver Round (Eagle Reverse design)!
Round Highlights:
During the rise of the price of silver in the late 1970s, all of the major silver refineries fought for dominance over the US silver market. Names like Handy & Harman and Johnson-Matthey had their eyes on the prize of claiming the industry for themselves and creating a monopoly business out of it. Engelhard beat them to the finish line with the creation and introduction of the Engelhard Silver Prospector Round which became the first silver bullion round marketed to the public. It was met with universal acclaim and equally high demand! For a long time, no other was able to compete until the US Mint hit the market with the Silver Eagles Series.
For the obverse of the 1986 1 oz Engelhard Prospector Silver Round, the iconic image of a prospector is featured. This showcases a professional prospector bending over and into the water. He wears a hat as he searches the calm river for gold. The inscriptions on this side of the round include: ‘U.S.A 1986, and ‘The American Prospector. The design is surrounded by a beaded outer circle.
For the reverse of the 1986 1 oz Engelhard Prospector Silver Round, the image of an American Eagle is featured. The design of the Eagle is reversed and showcases the fierce bird of prey gripping onto the girth of a branch. It flies across open air with the help of its large wings. The inscriptions on this side of the round include: ‘Engelhard’, and ‘One Troy Ounce 999+Fine Silver’. The outer rim of the round is decorated with a beaded circle like the obverse.
