Issued in 1982, the Prospector Series dominated the global silver market for a long time. It became one of the most sought-after series of its time, and the 1983 release was its third official version of the brilliant commodity. Today, Provident Metals offers you the 1 oz Silver 1983 Prospector Round (E logo reverse design)!
Round Highlights:
With a limited mintage of just 75,000 coins, the 1983 release of the Prospector Series is one of the most exclusive and in-demand collections of our time, despite its long history! It first reached popularity when the prices of silver were on the rise. Engelhard, out of all the major companies refining silver at the time, was the first to create the silver bullion round and break into the global silver market in 1982. The Prospector round showcased an old man digging for gold. From then on there, Prospectors dominated the silver market with no competition at all for a very long time!
Obverse
For the obverse of the 1 oz Silver 1983 Prospector Round, the contradictory but legendary image of a Prospector is engraved. Commonly, a prospector is someone who digs for the most gorgeous of natural minerals like gold. Yet here on the surface of a silver round, you will see the design of an old man looking for such. The inscriptions on this side of the round include: U.S.A 1983, and The American Prospector. A circle of beads surrounds the whole design.
Reverse
For the obverse of the 1 oz Silver 1983 Prospector Round, the classic Engelhard logo is featured above to indicate its mintage. It also features the inscription Engelhard, and One Troy Ounce 999+ Fine Silver below to indicate its weight and silver content. All of it is surrounded by the same dotted edging found on the rounds obverse side.
