2018 Tuvalu 1/2-oz Silver Daffy Duck NGC PF70UCAM

Collectors Will Be Running Amok for This Duck!

Many cartoon characters come and go, but a handful endure from one generation to the next, sparking smiles among collectors of all ages. One of those rare characters who is instantly recognizable to anyone who was ever – and still is -- a fan of cartoons is the zany Daffy Duck. From his turns as “Stupor Duck” and “Duck Twacy” to his epic battles with Bugs Bunny that left him uttering his iconic catchphrase with the distinctive lisp, "Youuu're deththpicable!" Daffy has entertained children and adults for generations. Now, Daffy Duck is featured on the second coin in a series of five coins that celebrate Looney Tunes characters. The design shows him staring indignantly off the face of the coin in a now-familiar pose of the screwball duck’s reaction to the failure of yet another of his attention-grabbing schemes.

FOUR NINE FINE WITH "P" MINT MARK – Each 2018 Tuvalu Daffy Duck proof was struck from a half ounce of 99.99% fine silver at the Perth Mint and features that mint's "P" mint mark, which is recognized as a symbol of quality throughout the world.

A FAMILIAR CARTOON DESIGN – Daffy Duck is at his irritated best on the coin's reverse. His big, arched eyeballs stare sarcastically while his hands rest disgustedly on his hips.  It’s an image that’s sure to induce nostalgia for those who grew up busting a gut with laughter while watching his cartoons.

EXQUISITE PROOF FINISH – This Daffy Duck coin has a beautiful proof finish that enhances both faces. It also helps to draw attention to the colorized cartoon character.

TUVALU LEGAL TENDER – Each 2018 half ounce Silver Daffy Duck Proof is fifty cents legal tender in the island nation of Tuvalu. Tuvalu is about halfway between Hawaii and Australia and is known for its beautiful beaches and the abundant sea life in its reef.

CERTIFIED FLAWLESS – Your coin will be certified Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections -- showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!

A LIMITED MINTAGE – Just 5,000 pieces were issued. When they’re gone that’ll be all, folks!

Coin collectors all have their favorite reasons for choosing the pieces they do – artistry, patriotism, history, culture, etc. - but this piece, as well as the rest of the Looney Tunes collection, simply offers something that few other coins can match: joy. One look at Daffy Duck and many adults instantly feel that same sense of happiness and innocence that they had when they watched him as children. What better way to escape, if only momentarily, from the trials and frustrations of daily life than taking a look at something that reminds you of a time when you didn't have to worry about any of them? With a low mintage of just 5,000 pieces, though, this coin will not be available for long, so place your order at GovMint.com today!
