Design & Liquidity
The obverse of this silver round features a reproduction of the iconic Saint-Gaudens design, originally crafted by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This timeless design first graced the U.S. Mint's $20 Gold Double Eagle coin, which was produced from 1907 to 1933. The design depicts Lady Liberty striding confidently forward, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with sun rays radiating behind her and the U.S. Capitol building in the background. The reverse typically showcases an eagle in flight, along with the SilverTowne Mint's logo, the metal type, weight, and purity.
As a privately minted silver round, this Silvertowne St. Gaudens replica enjoys strong secondary market liquidity. Generic silver rounds, due to their standardized weight and .999 fine silver purity, are readily recognized and accepted by bullion dealers globally, making them easy to buy and sell. While they do not possess the numismatic collectible premiums often associated with sovereign coinage, their primary appeal lies in offering investors a cost-effective way to acquire physical silver at competitive premiums over the spot price.
About the Mint
SilverTowne, a prominent name in the precious metals industry, was founded in 1949 by Leon Hendrickson, initially as a modest coin shop in Winchester, Indiana. The SilverTowne Mint, responsible for manufacturing its bullion products, commenced operations in 1973. Having operated for over 75 years, SilverTowne has expanded from its humble beginnings, starting with collecting change in a cigar box under a lunch counter, into a multi-million dollar business and one of America's largest and most respected dealers and manufacturers of rare coins, modern coins, and precious metals.
The mint is renowned for producing high-quality, affordable bullion products, adhering to exceptional purity standards, with all its bars and rounds being a minimum of .999 fine silver. One of SilverTowne's most recognized products historically is the 'Prospector' silver round and bar, which remains highly collectible. The SilverTowne Mint also specializes in custom minting, offering a wide range of designs and custom options for various occasions. Leon and his wife Ruhama built the company on a foundation of honesty and integrity, with Leon famously believing a person could be trusted by a handshake.
