Elizabeth Ann Roberts 1 Gram .999 Fine Silver
This unique collectible features Elizabeth Ann Roberts, the Playboy Miss January 1958, presented as a "Schoolmate Playmate" from a 1993 commemorative series. The front of the card displays a classic black-and-white photograph of Roberts walking outdoors in a stylish trench coat, while the back showcases her in a studious pose with a pencil in hand. A notable highlight of this item is the inclusion of a 1 gram .999 fine silver bar embedded directly into the front of the card, marked with the "PRC" hallmark and silver purity. This vintage-inspired card, numbered #14 in the set, combines numismatic value with pop culture history, making it a distinctive piece for collectors of both precious metals and Playboy memorabilia.
Condition: The item appears to be in excellent condition, housed within a protective trading card slab. The silver ingot is embedded securely in the lower-left corner of the card. The card surfaces show no visible creases or wear, though there is a handwritten price sticker on the top left of the outer case.
Mint: The ingot features a mint mark consisting of the letters RC within a stylized frame.
Metal Content: The ingot is stamped with 1 GR .999FS, indicating it is composed of 1 gram of .999 fine silver.
