It's the first I've seen of it, but then I'm also typically not shopping for silver dollars unless it's a gift giving occasion with my fiancée.  Even in cupronickel though, it looks like a cool commemorative.  I like some Pobjoy Mint stuff.....I have a few of their pieces in my collection of coins that depict different species of birds.

It's a real coin, did you note the BVI in the description?  British Virgin Islands, member of the British Commonwealth, which is why the queens portrait is on it.  This is just another country jumping on the bandwagon to try and get money out of collectors.  The 100 aniversary coins for the Morgan and Peace dollar have been getting press, so they make something commemorating them too to try and syphon off some US coin collector cash.

Yes I noticed. But since I already had the 2021 Morgan and the Real 2021 Brittania, I passed on it because it’s made from cupronickel. Lol 😆

Good point Condor!  Being that I am fairly well versed in hydraulics and hydraulic presses... and have access to a CNC machine and some of the best steel blanks known to man.... you just gave me an idea....:idea:  Not that I would ever try to pass off something completely hummy to anyone to take their hard earned $$$ but hey..... I'm wondering if someone wouldn't buy a specially designed and minted token from an old North Georgia country boy especially if it had enough eye appeal and was interesting enough?? Hmmmmhm.  I think it would be a fun thing to do and experiment with.

I want on the waiting list for the inaugural minting at the North Georgia Redneck Mint and Tire Change 😂. You probably could sell some. Silver rounds are always hot and any neat design people pay crazy premiums for.

I would like to be placed on the list for an inaugural issue. Numbered and signed.    PM me and I’ll pay right up. Thanks James 🤓

Hey!!!! Who said anything about Redneck!!! And I don’t own a Tire Change!!! But I have to admit, I love your comment 😂. Actually… that may be a rather “catchy” phrase for sales. I’ll have to think about it.
Ok….I thought about it…. Done!(thumbsu

I will reimburse you (an undetermined amount at this time) for any proceeds that may arise from my new venture based on the name of my new company. Don’t hold your breath though Woods…… just sayin.

An Alabama boy can’t call anyone a red neck I suppose, but @VKurtB lives in redneck central in Alabama. So he has me beat. I still laugh thinking about a PA guy living in A-RAB.

Every Alabama country boy born and raised there I've ever met has had a little redneck blood in them, not a bad thing at all!  It's what keeps us alive during hard times.  @VKurtBwill surely become one by osmosis (even if just a tiny bit...kind of like a die chip on a PR70 that went unnoticed).... he just just hasn't realized it yet.  No big deal though.  It's a good thing!

People tend to put some negative opinions about rednecks.  So as with every thing you have good and not so good ( notice I didn’t say bad)

without redneck engineering.. … where would I be. 
without redneck logic….. I wouldn’t understand 1/3 of the people who I talk to 


I spent 4 years in redneck country and some parts of the culture just sneak up on you and before you know it. You develop your own little redneck outlook.  I found myself with a better understanding of some of my fellow Americans.  Older I get the more different outlooks I have become part of

The political pundit James Carville once described Pennsylvania as Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between. I’m Pennsylvania born and raised, mostly from Lancaster County heritage. About as Alabama as the northeast ever gets. I worked for one party for 13 years in the Capitol and voted for the other one that whole interval.

Due to redneck logic (on their part), I don't understand 2/3rds of the people who talk to me.

James I’m not surprised but passed on them since they were cupronickel. I also already have both of the  201 Eagles, waiting for 2021 Morgan cc and 2021 peace dollars as well as having purchased the 2021 Brittania silver and the 2021 Queens 95th birthday coin. So I guess my own set.

James they did produce a silver coin version, but I’m sure the one I bought isn’t one of them! I don’t care, it is only for a simple display set I’m building anyway. Thanks

Bill
