2018 Niue $2 Disney Scrooge McDuck 1 Ounce Silver NGC MS69 First Releases Black Core

If It Looks Like a Duck… Then it’s Scrooge McDuck as a Silver Coin!

Fresh off the success with its first offering in its Disney© silver bullion series, the New Zealand Mint, has struck again with a 2018 coin featuring everyone’s favorite miser, Scrooge McDuck. Issued as a one-ounce silver coin, Scrooge joins 2017’s Mickey Mouse “Steamboat Willie” coin as the latest release in this exciting bullion series.

Unlike most Disney characters, Scrooge McDuck did not get his start in film. Instead, he made his debut in a December 1947 Issue of Dell’s Four Color Comics in a story entitled “Christmas on Bear Mountain” loosely based on the acclaimed 1843 story “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. Originally intended as a one-shot appearance, the wealthy old duck proved so popular that he became a recurring character who got his own comic book in 1952 titled Uncle Scrooge, where he was portrayed as Donald Duck’s uncle. It wasn’t until 1967’s animated cartoon “Scrooge McDuck and Money” did we finally get to hear his voice – a thick Scottish accent.

The image on this silver coin is the epitome of Disney’s Scrooge McDuck. He’s depicted wearing his familiar frock coat, top hat, pince-nez, glasses, walking stick and spats. Of course he is also holding an enormous sack of money – and why wouldn’t he? He’s the richest duck in the world! Struck in a full troy ounce of 99.9% silver, this 40 mm coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Mint State-69 (MS69) condition.  NGC has also certified it as being a First Releases (FR) coin and encapsulated it in a special coin holder with a black core.
