Silver Sunshine Mining Round/ Re-blog lottery!

avatar

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hump day has finally arrived! It's turning out to be a rather nice day here, and should be a nice sunny afternoon. Speaking of sunshine it's the silver round of the day. A 1981 Sunshine Mining round with the beautiful bald eagle. One of my favorite silver rounds for sure.


About the round:

From numista.com

These were such beautiful rounds that they produced over the years. I love to pick them up when I find a good deal. The bald eagle design is so detailed, and the sun behind it is beautiful! It's really too bad they are no longer produced! These are great silver rounds for stackers and collectors alike.

I've always loved seeing bald eagles, such iconic north American predators and very graceful in flight! It's hard to believe not that long ago they were endangered species from DDT use but have bounced back nicely. @melinda010100 mentioned recently that they often perch in trees behind her house to fish in the adjacent river. Isn't she lucky?

A bald eagle in flight

The Sunshine Mine was located in northern Idaho and was one of the biggest silver producing mines in the world. It opened in 1890 and was in operation intermittently until 2001 when weak silver prices forced them to shut down. In the 1970's it was part of the Hunt brothers plan of cornering the silver market, this caused silver prices to jump to over $50 and ounce in 1980. It also saw it's share of tragedy when 91 men died of carbon monoxide poisoning in the mine when a gas leak occurred. Mining is an inherently dangerous job for the miners and they sure have a very tough job...

And if you wondered what happened to the Hunt brothers, the US government Commodities Future Trading Commission changed their margins rules. The result was the Hunt's being over leveraged and margin calls forced them into bankruptcy. Not a pretty end to their ten year scheme to corner the silver markets.

If you ever have the chance to pick up one of these beautiful rounds at a good price take advantage. They are becoming harder and harder to find especially in good condition. A beautiful ounce of silver!

I hope you enjoyed my post today, I appreciate you stopping by to have a peak. If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments please feel free to leave them below. Have a great day and keep of stacking!

P.S. And since I am posting in the #freecompliments community I just wanted to remind everyone to take some time today to be kind. A little kindness can make a huge difference in someone's life. Please check out the community and consider joining us!

And my disclaimer:
Gold and silver collecting and stacking can be a fun hobby but isn't for everyone. You can lose money. I'm not a financial advisor and this isn't financial advice, please always do your own research before spending your hard earned money.

Silver is on sale "Big Time"... Once we make it to Phase One of the Reset, the Melt Value of One Ounce of Silver will have the Spending Power of 900 of today's Fiat USD's...

I figure, once we make it to Phase 3 of the Reset, the Melt Value of Silver will be 18,000 per ounce, "if" measured in today's Fiat USD's... $180 per ounce "if" measured in our "Circulating" Silver and Gold Coins...

I agree! I'm thinking it's about time to start looking for some new items as silver is down. New treasures await! I wish I still had the stamina to spend days combing the desert with my metal detector!

I used to hate eagles when I was a kid since it took on the lives of the chicks. But now, I really wish to see them flying in the sky, or at least have a chance to photograph them.

But not as big as the graceful and mighty bald eagle that you have there. : )

Eagles are majestic birds but they are opportunists and grab and easy meal like chickens when they find it! How are you doing?

I almost hit a bald eagle driving down the road one day. It swopped down to pick up a carcass and it couldn't quite lift it, so it had to drop it or risk getting hit by me!

Mining is most definitely a very dangerous occupation!😳
I remember the story of these men perishing, a terrible tragedy!
Sunshine mint, silver rounds are very popular, the Pacific Northwest. There was a time that you could crack open a tube of 20 and that’s all you could find ……
very nice silver around my friend !🤗

It's a shame they shut down, but mines are expensive to operate in the US anymore. You wouldn't find me in an underground mine, they're just so risky. It's too bad these rounds are becoming harder to find, they were nice! Thanks!

So many of the vintage silver rounds are becoming harder to find up here as well, and the premiums are going through the roof!🙄
I agree with you about the mines, way too dangerous for me as well!😬

I regularly see a pair of bald eagles circling high above the Coquitlam Fraser River green space. The Crows around here detest them. The eagles raided a Crows nest in a tree adjacent to my home and boy didn't the local flock of crows raise a ruckus. Unmistakable plumage. I could Watch them soar and circle all day.

Blood pressure under control just out of my routine today because of having to stay home for the treadmill delivery, but that's for a great cause :)
Just have to wait another day or so before I can use it, sadly.
