T.I.M.E. Series Silver Rounds from JM Bullion

There are countless silver round series available for investors and collectors to choose from at this moment in time in the precious metals market. As the demand for silver products increases, mints are reacting by supplementing the traditional dominance of silver bullion programs from sovereign mints with private-mint issues.

Each private mint takes its own approach to the production of silver rounds. Some capitalize on the popularity of and demand for American coin designs by replicating images such as the American Silver Eagle, Buffalo Nickel, or Gold Double Eagle on silver rounds. It makes it easier for collectors to add the items to their personal collections they couldn’t get from a sovereign mint due to lower or capped mintage figures.

Price also tends to come into play with many of these products. Even if a collectors can find the design they desire for their collection, they may not be able to afford it. Silver rounds are an affordable option for investors and collectors alike because they boast much lower premiums over the spot price of silver.

One such example is the T.I.M.E. Series from the North American Mint. This exciting new silver round series is available now from JM Bullion, and is covered extensively below.

About the TIME Series

The unique TIME Series of silver rounds from the North American Mint focuses on the passage of time in human history. This three-round series features limited runs for each new design release, with a total maximum mintage of 10,000 rounds per design. The rounds are sequentially numbered and feature 1 Troy oz. of .999 pure silver.

Your T.I.M.E. Series silver round bears a proof-like finish on both surfaces, which means that although they do not feature the full visual elements of a proof, the rounds have frosted design elements working in concert with deeply-mirrored effects. In the case of these T.I.M.E. Series rounds, you’ll notice a frosted relief on the design sets and the rim of the coin, as well as a deeply-mirrored visual effect on the background field.

All T.I.M.E. Series silver rounds ship to you individually with an air-tight plastic capsule that protects the condition of your coin against human handling and the elements of time, such as humidity.

Each of the TIME Series Silver Rounds was produced in collaboration with Chautauqua Silver Works. The private facility was founded in Western New York by Ron Kinney. Chautauqua Silver Works is responsible for the design of each round, with North American Mint providing the production capacity for the series.

Designs in the T.I.M.E. Series

To date, there only two of the three releases in the series are available for purchase from JM Bullion. Each design takes a different approach to scaling down the concept of the passage of time so that people can better contemplate it. The first release was known as Shifting Gears, while the second took a more morose look at time and life with the Grain of Sand Proof. Details on both designs are included below:

• Shifting Gears Proof: The first in the series, on the obverse face is the image of a number of interlocking gears. As each individual wheel spins in a series of gears, it impacts and turns another gear. This plays out on the obverse, along with the patent date of “1 Dec 1945” for shifting gears, which is engraved above the gears. Along the top and bottom of the outer rim is the engraving “Shifting Gears on the Perception of Time.”
• A Grain of Sand Proof: the obverse side of the 1 oz Silver TIME Series A Grain of Sand Round you’ll find the hourglass design. The most shocking part of the imagery is the open grave the sand empties out of the hourglass into. If you look closely you’ll see the name “Avery Bawdy,” or everybody, on the headstone of the grave site.

Both releases to date feature the same exact reverse design. Included on the reverse of the round includes the Chautauqua Silver Works name along the top, with the unique engraving of “One More Ounce – One Less Fetter” on the bottom. In the middle of the round’s bullseye design on this face is the weight, purity, and metal content of the round, along with the word “Bullseye” and the periodic number and symbol for Silver (AG 47).
