1959 Collis Restrikes in Silver...

Lazybones

I have had many of the coppers pass through my hands, but never the silver. As a matter of fact, I have never even seen one other than a picture in a google search. Thanks to @RichieURich I have TWO!

First thing I noticed is that there is no bull's eye on the reverse like there is on the copper.

Both unc and will be submitted...

RichieURich

Congrats, Lazybones and it was a pleasure to deal with you.

I didn't even know they existed in silver. Nice!

Same here.
Edit: Now that I think about it I do recall reading that there are some in silver. I think? I do have one, not silver, and if I ever put together a Box of 20 it would be included. I like it...a lot!

Lazybones

Grades are in for both from NGC. I'll post along with pictures as soon as they arrive. Should have them soon as they shipped last week.

Cheers

Congrats @Lazybones , that’s my kind of restrike. I never knew nor seen these in silver.

@coinsarefun.... That made me laugh.... But also a good point... silver and not tarnished... Cheers, RickO

Nice! I have a few copper ones. Isn't the silver like a mintage of 22.

I believe there were around 5019 in copper, 22 in silver, one each in lead and platinum and 7 in gold.

RichieURich

Yes, I had heard 22 in silver, which makes it a rather rare item.
