First issued in 1982, the Engelhard Prospector Silver Round became one of the most well-known series of modern times with rich American history and high demand. This 1 oz silver round was the sixth year of issue from the famous Prospector series and the final year of the eagle design. Today, JM Bullion offers you the 1987 1 oz Engelhard Prospector Silver Round (Eagle Reverse design)!
Round Highlights:
In the late 1970s, as the price of silver began to climb near $50 an ounce, major silver refineries, such as Handy & Harman, Johnson-Matthey, and Engelhard, began producing various silver bullion products. In 1982, Engelhard was the first company to market 1-oz silver bullion rounds, which carried an image of a prospector panning, oddly enough, for gold. Silver, unlike gold, is not found in river or stream alluvial deposits. These Engelhard silver Prospectors soon dominated the 1-oz silver round market. Even Johnson-Matthey, which introduced an inspiring series of Freedom Rounds centered on the Bill of Rights, was unable to compete.
For the obverse of the 1987 1 oz Engelhard Prospector Silver Round, the iconic image of a prospector is featured. A prospector is someone who searches for mineral deposits. The prospector on the round is designed as a man 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 1987, and ‘The American Prospector. The design is surrounded by a beaded outer circle.
For the reverse of the 1987 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 soars across open air with the mightiest of wing spans and the sharpest of beaks. 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.
