Make the Ring of Nebula the Star of Your Collection

Imagine if you were the star of a science fiction movie. What’s your quest… to control the galaxy, right? Now you can – and you don’t even have to fight a team of superheroes to do it!

Thanks to the innovative artisans at the Osborne Mint, the mysteries of deep space have been revealed in full color through a brand new silver proof series entitled Galaxies and Nebulae Spinners. Established in 1835, the Osborne Mint is the oldest private mint in America and now it has released a series that is truly out of this world! The first proof in the series is this Ring of Nebula One-Ounce Colorized Silver Proof. The obverse design of this 99.9% silver round shows a stunning beautifully colorized image of the Ring of Nebula as captured by renowned astrophotographer Robert Gendler.

Besides its popular space-age theme, what really makes this proof so unique is that it was actually MEANT to be handled. Unlike most proofs where they are always kept in protective coin capsules lest their gleaming surfaces are damaged by excessive handling and touching, these silver rounds demand to be touched. That’s because every round was coated with jeweler’s lacquer to retard tarnishing and scuffs. What’s more, the mint put its in-house COIN-SHOW™ design technique to good use making the lettering transparent so you can see through them right to the proof’s surface!

In a final tip of the hat to the wonders of space, each round has a stud that protrudes form the center of the reverse so that you can spin it like a top! It’s a clever addition since astronomers recently discovered that all galaxies rotate once every billion years, no matter how big they are!

The Ring of Nebula featured on this, the first release of the series, was discovered in 1779 by French astronomer Charles Messier. It is located 2,300 light years from Earth and is illuminated by a central white dwarf that creates its colorful appearance. Your proof’s lettering shows the Ring of Nebula’s astronomic location coordinates – a veritable road map to the stars!

Just 1,500 of these futuristic proofs have been issued for worldwide release – a very low number for all the collectors and fans of space and science fiction. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know these coins will sell fast. Add one to your universe today!
