Note to new collectors: whether encased in OGP or not, never take your bullion coins to anyone unfamiliar with hallmarks and coins and rely solely on spot. Very nice coins! rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back up and checked, yep it says “ For the love of Silver”. Evidently the love of silver makes a person collect all kinds of things, even an ugly old coin like this WW1 1914 25 cent piece minted pretty close to the center of all the destruction that took place in that war. Gotta love silver quite a bit to hang on to the junk silver box you’ve had for over 40 years, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true, what the mint considers art today is more like clip art. Only every once and awhile will the mint break that mold and produce an eye appealing coin, but those are usually only for some type of commemorative coin rather than any coins for circulation.
