Celebrate Mickey’s Birthday with the Steamboat Willie 90th Anniversary Silver Coin

 

It all started with “Steamboat Willie.” In 1928, Walt Disney created a new character and an enduring legacy when he brought Mickey Mouse to life in an eight-minute cartoon that was the first to feature sound -- and in the case of Mickey, the mouse’s voice was that of none other than Walt Disney himself! Now, to celebrate the 90th anniversary of this groundbreaking cartoon, the prestigious New Zealand Mint is releasing a special ultra high relief silver proof that captures all the whimsy that has made Disney and Mickey a part of life for nearly a century!

 

Every Disney© fan is sure to appreciate this 2018 Steamboat Willie release, struck in a two full ounces of 99.9% silver. Each features the iconic image of Mickey at the wheel, launching an entertainment empire that shows no sign of slowing down. The charming image is further enhanced by the incredible ultra high relief detail that gives Mickey an almost 3D effect as he whistles and bounces behind the helm of his steamship.

 

Struck by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of the island nation of Niue, your coin is officially licensed by Disney. The delightful $5 legal-tender 2018 Two-Ounce Silver Coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in perfect Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!

 

In addition, your proof will also be certified as a First Releases (FR) coin by NGC, meaning that it was among the first struck by the mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Also, the population of coins labeled First Releases is only a fraction of the total mintage. Your coin will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic case with a black core insert – providing you the best in protection while giving you clear sightlines and perfect visual contrast for every beautiful detail.

 

The 2018 Niue 90th Anniversary of Mickey Mouse Two-Ounce Silver Proof is a wonderful symbol of the Disney legacy, but with only 5,000 available for worldwide release, you will need to order now if you don’t want to miss the boat!
