As many of you know, Mr. Gilroy Roberts designed the Kennedy half $. In 1976 he also sculpted a small statue

of the American Eagle for the Bicentennial. 200 silver and 3000 brass eagles were made.

The silver eagles were made of .925 fine silver ... with over 240 oz. of pure silver.

This is # 160. Enjoy!

10 oz. bar placed for size.

Great detail.

Keep on stack,n!!

    That is crazy cool.

    On the statue I'm seeing 160/200, but the pic is a little blurry so it might be 160/300. regardless, this is really nice. Great depiction of a Bald Eagle.

    That's puts a whole new spin on the term "Silver American Eagle".

    There, I said it.

    Wow! 1% over spot. That is an awesome deal!
    I bet that would be the last chunk of silver you would be willing to sell from your vast pile of silver.
  • LukeMarshallLukeMarshall Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Wow, That is truly a work of art...

    And 1% over is quite the bargain IMO!

    Absolutely gorgeous piece.

    Run size was indeed 200, and sterling (rather than .999). Silver weight at least 240 Troy ounces.

    However - no matter the number produced or the specs - the beauty of the piece itself is amazing.

    Congratulations on a terrific acquisition! image
  • Yukoncornelius1Yukoncornelius1 Posts: 654 ✭
    What an AWESOME piece of art!!!
    The fact that it is made of silver and limited to a production of only 200 pieces makes this one hunk of silver I wish I could get my hands on.image
