Another old round from Silver Bullet Silver Shield comes the 2012 Trivium Coin. This one had some crazy errors and even a half-proof!
What is a half proof you may ask? The Mulligan Mint made an error and struck the Trivium side of the coin in Proof and the other side (SBSS Side) was struck in BU. But the errors don't stop there.
They also had a Wide Reed variety that was produced for 1 week before noticing the error. These are also very rare and sought after by the collecting community.
There was a total of BU 52,970 and Proof 3,999 coins produced. Of course, I have the regular boring version of it. I do see some toning starting around the edges, which is just fine in my book. Have a look.
Obverse
This description is from Silver Round The World and helps tell the story of what's printed on the coin.
The round’s obverse presents the Trivium of Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric upon which a classical education was based. Grammar (Observation) is the rational and unemotional observation of symbols, situations or facts allows truth to be observed. Logic is processing the current set of facts and logically thinking about what will be the logical consequences of, or the best course of action in light of the observation. Rhetoric is the ability to tell either yourself or others of your observation and your line of thinking. The Trivium is the three step thought process that breaks the slave thought and allows the individual to become their highest and best self. Those three ideals are inscribed along the outer edge of the round along with "LIFE", "LIBERTY", and "THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS".
Reverse
The reverse is much the same as most of their coins from this period. No need for a description.
That's all I got to start off the new year. Keep Stackin!!!
Seeing these bring me back to my Newbie stacking days.
Happy to help you reminisce!
I like the newer version of the trivium round better.
I'll have to look it up. I have a couple of these but didn't see if they were all the same.
Silver Bullet Silver Shield is almost as rare, and an error round to top that up, only adds to it!
Happy New Year, @vgholdingsllc!

I didn't know about the errors until I looked them up. Learn something new every day.

Nice one. I think I have, or had one of those. I might have to dig up the back yard and see if I can find it.
