2018 U.S. Silver Dollars Layered in Black Ruthenium and 24k Gold
D
iscovered in 1844, Ruthenium belongs to the Platinum
group on the periodic table, and sits just a few spots
lower on the list of rare earth elements. More
importantly, Ruthenium looks absolutely stunning when
layered over a 2018 One-Ounce, 99.9% pure American Eagle
Silver Dollar—especially when you add 24-karat gold gilding!
Then, for the final touch, 24-karat gold is used to carefully accent
the obverse of Lady Liberty, designed over one hundred years ago,
as well as the heraldic eagle reverse introduced in 1986. The result is
unique, beautiful and highly collectible!
One Ounce of 99.9% Pure Silver
Each piece starts out as a beautiful freshly struck 2018 American
Eagle Silver Dollar, known to collectors as a U.S. Silver Eagle. Struck
by the United States Mint, each coin is government-guaranteed for
its content, purity and $1 American legal-tender value.
Once secured from the U.S. Mint, they are sent to a third party
to be lavished in Black Ruthenium, with every important detail
still visible.
