2010 GUERNSEY 8 DOUBLES (1OZ FINE SILVER)
Hello Silverstackers!
I was really excited recently when I saw on hive some of the great coins that some collectors have. Therefore I thought I would share the first silver coin that I bought. This was back in 2010 when I started to look more into what our money is and more deeper question the narrative.
Here is the front and back.
It is the Guernsey 8 Doubles 1oz Fine Silver in mint condition. (I purchased from a mint)
Here you can see its quite thicker and smaller in diameter to your usual maple leafs etc.
Here it is compared to the 2 Euro coin. I leave without comment.
Here I compared additionally it to the liberty dollar that I purchased in 2011.
This gives a good idea of the sizes.
It's crazy to think how long this coin has been in my possession. I hope to pass it down to my children one day.
Unfortunately, the 4 generation existing Guernsey Mint is no longer in business for a few years, so there are no new 8 Doubles being produced. Do you have any?
Thanks for reading!
