Why purchase this 2 oz. silver Intaglio Mint Saint-Gaudens One Cent Tribute Round?

Following a visit to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., where President Theodore Roosevelt admired the beauty of ancient Greek coinage, he challenged renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens with the task of re-designing U.S. coinage. Due to failing health, the sculptor was only able to complete the designs for $10 and $20 gold coins before his death in 1907. This round features Saint-Gaudens' design for a one cent coin, which was never minted.

• The round is a product of the Intaglio Mint.
• The round contains 2 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
• The round features a gorgeous Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
