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...

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!
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

@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.

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