Judging by the listed mintages (which seem quite high for a private mint item), this product line appears to have been a success for them.

They may be "novelty" items, but at least they aren't marked up much over spot price (unlike the "novelties" of another private minter who shall remain nameless

)...

I have one or two of their Morgue Anne dollars. As silver rounds go, they really do a good job on their designs, and the dark humor is great.

<< just another way to part suckers with their cash >>

Huh? If I want to buy one of these then I will and I don't consider myself a sucker. I've even ordered some to give out to fellow WD Fans who will, without doubt, really appreciate them.

Maybe, just maybe, even start showing an interest in smart little designs minted onto hunks of otherwise drab metal objects............Sheesh!

You talkin 'bout the US Mint?

OnlyGoldIsMoney · December 31, 2014 2:57AM

A litmus test for bad taste and poor judgement.

Those who pass on such offerings "pass" the test.

PerryHall · December 31, 2014 3:11AM

<< just another way to part suckers with their cash >>

They are sold as silver rounds with a small markup over silver melt value which makes them a decent deal for those who are interested in buying silver bullion. Now, what you said is very applicable to most US Mint offerings and most so called rare coins being retailed by coin dealers.

bronco2078 · December 31, 2014 3:37AM

How is this one doin ? Same bunch right?

Nothing like passing judgement on people you've never met based on them buying a hunk of silver with a design you don't like on it.

Keep it classy. >>

Actually, I bought the Copper Rounds at $1.74 each which, in actuality, is fairly cheap. The Silver Round was only $19.93, contains an ounce of silver and is a bit cheaper than a Silver Eagle which has the same design year in and year out. But then, I didn't purchase these as Numismatic collectibles. I purchased them because I simply wanted them. Kinda like that Big Mac I bought last week? I wanted it.

Or maybe my 55/55 Lincoln. I wanted it (and lost a little money on it I might add).

That's what I get for letting the masses decide what I should or should not buy! It's my money, my life and I buy what I like and want regardless of what other may "think".
Because you see, I'm not THAT much of a Zombie.

The flip on SBSS was two years ago, even then, ya had to sell six on ebay to get to keep a free one. Looked at my two remaining SBSS bullion today in the deposit box while searching for other stuff. My .02

Starving Liberty was released this morning.

Not a bad trinket for a buck 69.

Good one.

<< just another way to part suckers with their cash >>

The only "suckers" are the ones who don't think for themselves and blindly let someone else decide for them what they should buy.

<< They may be "novelty" items, but at least they aren't marked up much over spot price (unlike the "novelties" of another private minter who shall remain nameless )... >>

Well, yes, I do have higher markups. But I've never minted more than about 2,000 of anything. The "Zombucks" have mintages that are 20 to 60 times more than my highest production.

I just bought two.

I think I will double up on my usual order of (5) coins this time and do some Taco Bell Napkin wrap in the window and see how they tone up after a year or so?

I put them right up there with Scottsdale mint pieces.

epcjimi1 · March 29, 2015 6:19AM

I predict next from zombucks, dead president silver rounds depicted as zombies on one oz rounds. Roosies, Kennedys and Ikes. Just a matter of time...

Dang! I saw this thread and was just about to order the "Starving" and then realized that I already had ordered them.

There's a long tradition of satire and sociopolitical commentary in medallic art. I would say
these continue in that vein.

Do you feel the same way about vintage Trade Dollars which have been carved into "potty" dollars (which are highly-valued by some) ?
Do you hold in disdain your fellow collectors who buy or like these "Zombucks" ?

A person is free to like to dislike anything. Personally, I'm not crazy about these. But I don't entirely dislike them either. I can see why somebody would buy them as novelty silver rounds.

I for one do not feel that I have the right or the duty to dictate what other people should collect.

PerryHall · March 31, 2015 7:55PM

<< Different strokes for different folks.....But I like them. >>

Agree. They're not for me since I'm not a fan of zombie TV shows and movies but I must admit the art work and execution are really top notch.

Likewise...thanks for the heads-up. Similar to the SBSS bullion rounds (Silver Bullet Silver Shield)

Baley · April 1, 2015 2:31AM

It's an opinion, sorry if it struck a nerve.

If there is a place in someone's collection for these, hey, wonderful and fun for them, that's great

Everyone NEEDS these
When the zombies rise and the apocalypse begins, your money won't be any good.
Without a huge supply of these, you'll just be at the mercy of zombies - and nobody wants that.

MsMorrisine · June 25, 2015 12:50PM

The loose feathers make it look cartoonish

BryceM · June 25, 2015 2:38PM

I love this series, I love that the people creating them are making a little money at it, and I love it even more that some people don't like them.

The freedom to produce whimsical stuff that nobody really needs is alive and well in the USA.

WildIdea · June 25, 2015 2:40PM

I dig them, gives my silver art round and art bar collection some variety from the common refiner, politics, famous people, animals, etc. and I predict they will be future classics.
