The Great Northwest 1oz Silver Round $240
This vintage The Great Northwest 1oz Silver Round is a highly collectible piece of bullion that commemorates the iconic volcanic landscape of the Pacific Northwest. The obverse features a detailed relief of Mt. Hood alongside a smoking Mt. St. Helens, capturing a powerful moment in geological history. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver (31.1 grams), this round serves as both a precious metal investment and a historical memento. The design is framed by the bold inscription The Great Northwest at the top, with the weight and purity specifications clearly marked at the bottom. This specific item is housed in a protective clear plastic flip, labeled with the inventory number 0032, ensuring its condition is preserved. Collectors often seek out these regional rounds for their unique artistry and their connection to the 1980 eruption era, making it a standout addition to any silver portfolio or numismatic collection.
Condition: The item appears to be in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, exhibiting a strong luster and clear, crisp details on the mountain peaks and lettering. There is visible toning or milk spotting around the rim and within the fields, which is common for silver bullion of this age. Some minor surface abrasions or contact marks may be present but are obscured by the protective plastic flip.
Mint: Unknown private mint.
Metal Content: 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver.
