The coin is from the Highland Mint and they have been making Super Bowl coins for over two decades in Australia. The one used at the game is the highest quality and like I mentioned before is then replicated and limited to 10,000, it sells for about $60.00 on sale. This one I got on sale for $10.00 is not as sharp and a bunch of them had stains so it took a while to find a clean one.
It comes in an acrylic stand that is etched with SUPER BOWL XLVIII, the NFL logo, the HM The Highland Mint logo, and NEW YORK · NEW JERSEY FEBRUARY 2, 2014. I lost one of the stands legs but I will find or make a replacement.
I would prefer the official version made with silver and 24k gold plating but that was to expensive for a souvenir to a game I did not watch, yet.

ReplyDeleteJust twice metal value, whatever the weight of silver is its current value.
