2020 Niue $5 2-oz Silver The Raven Nevermore Proof w/Black Rhodium
Edgar Allen Poe’s Famous Black Bird Kicks off “Spooky Stories” Coin Series
Fans of scary stories and gothic horror will love a new series of coins that pays tribute to some of the most hair-raising tales ever told! And they couldn’t have picked a better story to kick off the Spooky Stories series than Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven, a literary classic that has sent shivers up people’s spines ever since it was first published in 1845!
Struck by Great Britain’s Commonwealth Mint in two full ounces of highly pure 99.9% silver, this legal-tender $5 coin has also been selectively plated in eerie Black Rhodium to add a delightfully haunting effect to its already chilling design. The blackened raven is ominously perched in a withered tree silhouetted against a full moon that’s been engraved in the shape of a shimmering skull. Weaving its away across the skull’s forehead is the word “Nevermore” – the famous line quoted by the Raven from Poe’s classic tale of a man haunted by the sorrow and loss of his beloved Lenore.
In addition, the 2020 Niue Two-Ounce Silver The Raven Nevermore Proofs available in this offer were expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. The added touch of Black Rhodium makes the coins even more mysterious. Black Rhodium is a rare type of platinum that is very hard and corrosion resistant. Because of its toughness and highly reflective nature it makes an excellent plating material.
Just 500 of these spine-tingling coins will ever be struck for the entire world. Plus, each will come housed in a black wood clamshell box inside an illustrated shipper and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. With such a small mintage, you’ll want to grab one of these coins now while you still can. Nevermore? That’s what people who miss out will be saying! Reserve yours now and keep it in you and your family’s collection Evermore!
