Neat silver round

I don’t typically buy bullion and when I do I prefer bars but I found this neat enough to grab

Nice one - is that a cud or glue on the obverse?

I must be honest - these days I am wary of bullion without a maker's mark. Yours clearly has some age to it, though.

Purchased this early this year at the FUN show.

It is a cud! I thought it was glue at first as we’ll

I have that exact round. I got it from my Great Grandfather. He likely bought it in the 80s

There are some nice art bars and rounds.... Though I usually stick to ASE's for my silver stack. Sometimes one of the bars or rounds just calls to me... Like my Secretariat bar...Watched all three of the Triple Crown races he won that year....Cheers, RickO

I posted this on the metals forum a few weeks back. You'll see several very similar rounds in the box image, and I thought the story was pretty cool, too:

I walked into one of the local shops this week and they had a tray of generic silver rounds. Boring, right? They seem to be 1980s Silver Towne type pieces. Nice quality and not as common as they used to be, but not rare by any stretch.

A few were toned--again, not unheard of and nothing especially desirable or valuable.

But one or two had exceptional toning. That's a little more interesting.

But then the dealer pointed out a few that were badly damaged. Apparently, a contractor was using a modified skid loader to tear down an old single-wide way back in the woods. The loner tenant had passed away a few years back and the landlord just wanted the dilapidated trailer removed. The contractor had picked up part of a wall and was lifting it into his lift trailer when a "waterfall of silver coins poured out". Over 100 of these vintage rounds had been hidden inside the section of the wall. There was apparently some gold, too, but the contractor decided to keep that for himself.

You can still see mud caked on a few of these pieces!

So I picked the prettiest of the bunch. How do you pass up a $20 story like that?
