Standing Liberty 1oz .999 Copper?

The design of these 1oz copper rounds pays tribute to the Striding Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which first appeared on the iconic $20 Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin from what I can see. It s based on the original coin issued by the U.S. Mint but are made by third parties for collectors. These rounds carry no actual face value for spending in a store, but hold both value for the copper and potentially collector value from increased demand over available supply, more so when the round has a limited mintage or popular design on it. They tend to sell for $1.50 when released up to $10 range when its no longer produced. A few with low mintage can go higher, especially long after its stopped production.

There are many mints who have made different versions including other past coin designs so you will actually find others not the same as yours, for example one pays tribute to the 90% Silver Standing Liberty quarters, minted from 1916 to 1930 but there have been thousands of different 1 oz copper and silver rounds with unique and interesting designs out there to potentially collect beyond just designs from existing coins. Just a sample of some recent ones sold today https://www.jmbullion.com/copper/copper-rounds/

They are generic copper rounds without a limited mintage and not of high value so generally go by generic only names like 1 oz Saint Gaudens Copper Round or with the mint name added to the title, and of course on places like ebay might have something added to the title to try to enhance sales.

Since they are generic you will see sometimes a number of different mints doing the same design with minor changes so the reverse designs will also be different in some cases. This can make things harder since they will all be sold with the same generic name but at least make it possible to catalog them and people have done a decent job with coins and tokens, but less so with copper rounds. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...e-3778741030 Worse, most generics are sold with stock photos and they may ship you three different designs with the very same listing/title I've noticed also. This makes it harder to trace to a specific seller/dealer/mint sometimes. So yes its possible to search for that specific one with the different back by looking over lots of photos such as worthpoint.com to find out if there is any more info, but as a generic round there isn't very much more to know except which mint and possibly a timeframe but most dont care unless its limited mintage or they really want more of a specific one. https://www.worthpoint.com/inventor...reyList=true

As a similar example the 1 oz silver buffalo round is made by many mints, each with slight differences and since they are generic without limited mintages they dont get cataloged as well as typical coins I've noticed, but still silver is doing better than copper rounds for cataloging. Some people try when they collect them but even then others pop up regularly in some cases So your welcome to collect and then write the book :) http://goccf.com/t/351823
