Vintage 1982 GSM Silver Prospector Amazon Quarter Dollar Round
A #sublimesunday and #beautifulsunday to everyone!!!
Did you fulfill your Sunday obligations? Just asking, hehehe!
Collecting these vintage rounds through the years has been interesting, to say the least. I am curious to know how many other versions of the Prospector Rounds the Golden State Mint has. Do you know?
Let me show you what I mean.
Vintage 1982 GSM Silver Prospector Amazon Quarter Dollar Round
GSM picked a winner by choosing the prospector for the obverse on their rounds in 1982 and 1983. It was iconic! They abandoned it after, and it makes me wonder why.
But look at this reverse!!!
1872 AMAZONIAN QUARTER DOLLAR
Numerous symbols are represented by pattern coins. Although several were struck specifically for collectors, they are typically viewed as attempts at novel compositions, denominations, or designs. During the 1870s, the Philadelphia Mint produced hundreds of different types of patterns, which made this extremely noticeable. They're all collectible, some of which are exquisite and some of which are less impressive. GSM picked another good design for this round.
The Story:
William Barber’s design, known as the Amazonian, was used for the quarter dollar, half dollar, and dollar denominations in 1872. It received its famous moniker in 1890 at the sale of the Lorin G. Parmelee Collection.
The Amazonian name references the seated figure of Liberty’s bare-breasted pose — along with her long sword — though she contrasts her boldness with a tender moment as she touches the head of an eagle.
The reverse’s eagle is particularly hearty, and this collector favorite is a pattern that shows the senior Barber at his best and most creative. This same reverse was used in a set of 1872 gold patterns that also bear the Amazonian name, though they depict a different, non-Amazonian obverse bust of Liberty with a distinctive cap and long ponytail.

GSM has been in the precious metals industry for over forty five years, and it has operations in Central Florida and Southern California. When it came to mint marks, early 1980s rounds had either the initials G.S.M. or the name of the mint, Golden State Mint. While the mint's name is inscribed on the majority of currently produced rounds, some bullion rounds are not marked.
These are the vintage rounds I have recently shown:

I just came across this [Gold Panner Joe Medallion](https://alaskamint.com/product/gold-panner-joe-medallion/0 from the Alaskan Mint. An interesting version of the Prospector named 'Joe' at $99.99 its a bit pricey to stack and more a souvenir.
Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

Ms. Saver @silversaver888
Look at those SILVER EAGLES .................
Also Notice NO GOLD FRINGE on the Flags !!
Very nice sis! I find in a lot of different items (not necessarily silver) that companies will produce something stunning or something as and individual, we are taken with, and then suddenly, the item is no more! Oftentimes, we are left scrambling to try to find one or more, just so we have it on hand, whether it's a consumable or something enduring. I don't get it-if it ain't broke, why fix it?
So frustrating! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely and blessed week ahead!🤗💜😘😍🌹🌼💕 !LADY !LUV !PIMP

As I said, silver is above its support and from here the price will start to go above it, so the price has gone up.
