The Reddit community known as “Silverbugs” is at it again. The popular group has created a second silver round that investors and collectors will both enjoy.
Containing .999 fine silver, the Silverbugs 1 oz Proof Silver round is now available at Provident Metals. This mirror-like piece follows the community’s first release from 2014, which was known as “Ariana.”
Each Silverbugs Silver Round will ship in a 39mm Air-Tite plastic capsule.
The 2015 Silverbugs obverse portrays a customized, robot-like bug at its center. IN SILVER WE TRUST and SILVERBUG are inscribed around the innovative design.
The reverse — which features the same image as “Ariana” — depicts a creature with spread wings. “Ag” is engraved in its head and inscriptions of 1 TROY OUNCE, 999 FINE SILVER and FOR THE SILVERBUG COMMUNITY surround the image.
Each silver round is manufactured by the North American Mint in New York. The highly regarded mint is known for producing the highest quality private minted silver and gold rounds, as well as top quality proof-like silver rounds.

This round is absolutely beautiful and is so, so shiny! Newer collectors see a black background on these proof coins and assume the coin is colored black. The black is actually the mirror like fields reflecting light. This round is super reflective hence why there is so much black in the fields in the pictures provided. This is definitely one of my favorite silver rounds!"

OK the round is nice perfect, BUT does not have a black background like the photo. I do not understand why it is shown with a black background if it does not have one. No other silver round is shown this way, and I likely would have not ordered it if ii know it was just a standard Silver round for $4.99 over spot. Just not happy about the photo not matching the item. I know they will say "to show detail", but no other round that has detail is shown this way. This is the first order from Provident this I was a little disappointed with my order. I will not return them, but do believe they need to change the photo to the actual round.
______________________________ Merchant Response: Drew: I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. The mirror finish of fields on the Proof coins or rounds make them very difficult to capture and depict an accurate image of the products on Provident website. Universally, the black in the fields represent a mirrored finish. " |
