1986 Montana Engelhard and Johnson Matthey Silver Rounds 2 x 1 Troy oz
Product Description
One each 1986 Montana Engelhard and Johnson Matthey .999 fine Silver 1 Troy oz Rounds in Uncirculated condition in Airtite capsules.
Significantly discounted from what they retail for separately.
In 1986 Treasure State Silver and Gold, a coin dealer in Billings Montana, commissioned silver rounds of their own design from Engelhard Precious Metals. After 3,000 were minted and delivered they then switched to Johnson Matthey (presumably for cost reasons). Total mintage of the JM version is not known but assumed to be a little more than the Engelhard mintage.
The obverse features an outline of the state of Montana, with "Treasure State" in the middle of it, "Montana" above and "1986" below. The reverse has the legend "Big Sky Country" and "One Ounce Troy Fine Silver .999" with the Engelhard trademark underneath, the design is identical for the Johnson Matthey version except for the JM trademark in the same location.
We acquired the Engelhards from a family whose patriarch purchased them from Treasure State Silver & Gold on July 15th 1986 and stored in a bank vault. The Johnson Matthey rounds were purchased from an individual still sealed in mint plastic, ten to a sheet.
All rounds are in beautiful mint condition, minor tarnish and/or handling marks. If you do not want them in Airtites the JM round will be sent still sealed in mint plastic, Engelhards will be in a coin flip (they were originally shipped in 20 round coin tubes). The JM rounds have very minor tarnish from air getting through the mint plastic after 40 years so we do clean them up with a coin dip to remove that. If you don't want them removed from the plastic choose from the options above when adding to cart.
