Last year, I filled up a couple of tubes with silver rounds that depict the iconic Statue of Liberty. This year, I am on a 'tubular journey' to complete a tube of another American iconic design- The American Prospector. I decided on Engelhard silver rounds because it is mostly what is still available from the secondary market.
Continuing on from where we left off at 12 silver rounds in the tube a few weeks ago...
Two 1982s, one 1983, five1984s, two 1986, one 1985, and one 1987
I started the tube at the beginning of the year and shared my progress with you through the months.

Today, a want to show a rare silver round that combines the designs from two commemorative coins in my wish list: [Both images below were taken from HERE.]
Golden State Mint’s Collection contains a variety of rounds that depict some of the most iconic images found on coins. They have been in the precious metals business for over 45 years. Started in 1974, the Golden State Mint (GSM) has always been a family run operation with a primary focus on providing the highest quality minted products. GSM specializes in the minting of silver, gold, and copper.
1982 American Prospector/Oregon Trail
Minted by The Golden State Mint, 1 troy oz., .999 fine silver.

Yes, the Engelhard American Prospector Silver Round came about the same time as the Mexican Silver Libertad with silver bullion starting to catch on. One of the most popular generic Silver rounds going. Thanks for bringing them for us to look at, silversaver888.
Exactly... many of the private mints produced the bullion rounds and bars before the Mexican Mint and the US Mint started offering bullion coins to the public. Before 1982 (for the Mexican Mint) and 1986 (for the US MInt) the silver that both these mint were in circulating coins (which were stripped) and in commemorative coins in silver. We are all fortunate to be given access to silver in te mints bullion coin programs. Before then, "generic" silver pieces were only produced by the private mints. They filled the silver production gap between the time when circulating silver coins from government mints were discontinued and when the government issued bullion coin programs were established by law.
Have a beautiful day, my friend @cve3, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

You ordered five and got six @silversaver888 that's awesome!!🤗 That's a wonderful feeling to open a package and get extra...and a 1982 American Prospector/Oregon Trail!!😀
Thirteen and counting..... this is going to be a very nice set my friend!!!
Take care my friend, have a wonderful evening!!!😍😍😀
With the prices of silver these days, it makes me wonder if I can complete the tube this year. Hindsight, I should have bought more at the beginning of the year... but who knew! It makes me laugh now negotiating 50 cents off from a seller.
Likewise, my friend @silvertop... enjoy your day 🥰🌺🤙
!tip
I agree with you @silversaver888, I have been thinking that the spot price is so pumped up at the moment that I might pause buying(for the moment)....Spot did drop, so this might be the floor.
Don't listen to me my friend, I am always wrong LOL!😇
I stack for long term security, and wealth, so I'm not selling anything....for now!😀
Thanks for commenting my friend, life has been so busy, we are usually up till midnight commenting and doing our @actifit post. I read many want to thin out SSG, I know we need to put out a silver post.....we have both been burning the candle at both ends.....
I was looking to see if we were still members....
Take to you later my friend, take care!😍😍😀
Do the actifit peeps you support reciprocate by visiting your actifit articles like you do for them. Just a question, because I sometimes think that others just post and then not come back to reply, or even give the courtesy to visiting our blogs. And what do you make of those? Is it worth our time visiting with them? Just wanting your opinion?
Thanks 🥰🌺🤙
I do 16 comments every day for @actifit, I find some very nice people around the World! It is so interesting to read some of the new users, and some of the regular users.
I probably get 4 reply's a day, the other's I look at as encouraging them to stay fit. I think just like other communities, you are going to find people that don't reply back, and really don't care, they are just using ...so sad, but I focus on the positive!
Take care my friend!!😍😍😀
Exactly! It used to bother me when my comments to articles are not replied to, especially because I have given my time and my resources in terms of an upvote and most often than not a tip to do that. But I have learned not to expect the same things from some people as I would of myself.
And you are absolutely right. Staying positive in social media, as in life, is key. And I would not have been able to continue to post every single day (as you and Liz do) otherwise. There was a time when I almost left because of some individuals. But I realize too, that they do not matter. The people who matter are those who care. And if it were not that there are many and many more people in Hive that are friendly, nice, respectful, and just wonderful people in general than those who are not, then I would have not stayed.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🥰🌺🤙
Very well stated......I enjoy what we do here @silversaver888, I too get frustrated at times, but as you stated, there are so many good people here!!😀
So nice that you joined Discord today, it was nice!! I just downloaded the Atomic wallet, and I will explore.......It still is a Hot Wallet, so I don't 100% trust anything on my phone. Time will tell ....
Have a very nice Sunday my friend!!😍😍😀

I had a chance to score an old Engelhard Prospector round from a Canadian Ebay seller but it got too high for me. The other buyer had to be a Stacker with a deeper pocket too, It's a dilemma to consider paying the extra premium as if it were coming in from the US and you know how significant it weights on the Canadian buyer.
Happy to see you accomplishing another goal Sis.
Always, with love... 🌺 💝 🌹 💓 🌸 🌼
I know what you mean, sis. We started stacking at a time when one can purchase ASEs at 18.50, and generic rounds at 15.00 regardless of design. Premiums for generic rounds were at .69 cents on sale. I regret not buying a lot in the past (sometimes). We'll just have to add to our stack a little bit slower.. because we have not received any adjustment in income (well... me, anyway!)
What are your plans for your weekend, sis? I hope it will be fun! Take care sis, 🥰🌺🤙. Lots of love💓💝 and a million and one Hugs and Kisses 🤗💕💋!

Hello, @summertooth, and thank you for being first to comment on this article! I thought of you when I was this article, and said to myself that of all in SGS, that you will like this silver round! Not all (even the sellers of the round) may realize just what a gem this particular combination of design on a silver round. It is truly special!
I recall now, that I asked for this specific round when I saw it (at @stokjockey's store), and so lucky that he agreed to sell it to me. WHAT A FIND!
Have a wonderful day, and please be safe on your travels, my friend. Take care 🥰🌺🤙

That is sooooo awesome sis! I have always liked the Prospector round, but having a rare one is even better! Have you ever stopped to ponder the hardships the folks who were brave enough to set out on a covered wagon must have face? Or, those who took up gold pan and pick to follow a dream that I'm sure they thought would bring them riches? I've seen a wagon trail at 11600 feet in the Rockies in Colorado, and let me tell you, you needed nerves of steel to cross that thing!
Congrats on getting the round and have a lovely evening! Much love and hugs!💕😘🤗🤗🌸
WOW... I know, sis, and yes, I often wonder so. I wonder if I was born in that period, would I be as pioneering. I am so grateful to those who built this country. The state of California developed with the goldrush. I think that is why, like you, I like designs depicting the western themes, patriotic Americana, and the gold rush.
Have a fun day at work and on your hike tonight. Take care sis, @elizabethbit🥰🌺🤙. Lots of love and Hugs 🤗💕
!tip
I have always had a 'thing' for western and Native American things as I have Cherokee heritage in my family tree. I have come to appreciate things of old and things that are old. Take care my sweet sis and have a lovely weekend!💕💕🌸😘🌸
WIW... that is wonderful to know about your heritage and family tree! There is nothing like knowing one's roots that keeps one grounded... I think that it can add to ones being and confidence in facing the future knowing how connected one is to a past.
Thanks for sharing that detail, my sis @elizabethbit. It is much appreciated. 🥰🌺🤙, lots of love and hugs💕😘🤗
Thanks sis!💕🌸🤗😘

Thanks, @pixresteemer, I appreciate you 🥰🌺🤙
It's always nice when you get more then your ordered. Very nice addition to your stack.
I know right! It is always good to develop a relationship with your suppliers of metals. Occasionally I received bonus items form sellers. But @stokjockey is always generous, and he never fails to send something to his regular customers. He is quite a pro and he receives the highest 100% rating from his buyers and considering the numerous years he's been doing this, he has not received a single negative feedback!
It is a wonderful addition to my tubular journey, indeed!
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend @maddogmike, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

You Know I LOVE The Engelhard Silver Prospectors but Golden State Mint Prospector's are So Beautiful Too....... Another Ounce of Silver Added To your STACK. Keep Going Young Lady and adding Real Wealth into your Life !! @silversaver888
Thank you for holding the silver pieces for me, my friend. For a while, I thought that you have sold this piece to someone else. I took a peek at the other pieces, and I saw the Lunar coin, which I did not order. I have a queue of precious metals articles to do and have added that to be shown on a WorldCoinWenesday next month or so. I am very appreciative of that silver coin because I love horses... THANK YOU very much, my friend @stockjokey. You are so generous and thoughtful, and I am grateful fo your friendship. Take care 🤗💕💋!

I Know You Love Horses Ms. Saver and that Piece is so Beautiful With the Horses Drinking from a Stream.... @silversaver888
