So at roughly 6720 bucks worth of troy silver, considering the constant flux price is around 42 bucks right now, I would say that bad boy will be selling for a weeeee bit beyond that figure....

Wow - nice - but for some reason that's a bit excessive for my tastes. I'd rather have a "variety pack" of various silver pieces etc. But, that is a nice item.

It slices! It dices! It doubles as a compass, too!

Yes Penny man, I think it said a mintage of 350, very limited....
I own a 4 oz silver Red Wing medallion from their 1997 Stanley cup run, and it is a mintage of only 250, the lowest I have seen thus far....

I have a 1 troy pound coin designed like the ASE and its huge in my opinion, I couldn't imagine how big this thing is   |

I like that troy pounder ASE, have been looking at those for a while now. A good way to tie up 12 oz in my opinion. I have one example as well, but 12 oz Ben Franklin 100 dollar bill, but it would be nice to have another in coin form as well. That article pointed to the larger coins becoming more popular, wonder how true that really is, in this silver craze time I could believe it? If this thing hits 30 an oz before it swings back, I will seriously consider adding a couple of 5 oz rounds, the raised silver civil war coins I like, or space missions.... Edited by Silverhawk74

That is one seriously heavy coin, 160 oz in a 6" round must make it 3" or 4" thick as well.
350 is a generous mintage. Oversized coins seem to have a mintage of less than a 100, so coining authority must be counting on the bullish price of silver continuing. It would have been easier to manufacture a silver bar with Bering's image on it, than this monstrosity...

After the "Holy cow!" reaction wore off, I could only think of two things. First, it would have been uber cool if they had put "5,000 gms. .999 silver" on there somewhere. It's not as if they don't have the room!  Second was... imagine walking into a bar and flopping that bad boy on the bar with a shout of "Barkeep, Whiskey!". Something tells me that the drinks would flow for a while. |

Extremely limited to 350 pieces.
Total worldwide demand, maybe a dozen pieces.
Just more scrap to haul to the refinery.
