2018 Tuvalu 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Proof

Collectors are Racing to Get the Hot Wheels 50^th Anniversary Silver Proof

One of the fondest memories many people have of their childhood was racing into the family room on Christmas morning and tearing open presents. At least one of those presents just HAD to be a brand new set of Hot Wheels! The orange track, the purple connectors, the decals... even the new plastic smell when you first opened the box was intoxicating. But the best part of all was the cool cars – it was the cars that separated Hot Wheels from everyone else.

Hot Wheels were an immediate success when they roared onto the scene in 1968. But then, how could they not be with such wicked cars as the Deora with its twin surf boards on the back of its pick-up hybrid, the Beatnik Bandit with its bubble dome cockpit, and the Splittin’ Image with its twin cockpits. Children loved these fantastic tricked-out cars and the fun tracks that could be connected to form all kinds of racing shapes.

To pay tribute to the 50^th anniversary of Hot Wheels, Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint is releasing a special one-ounce silver proof that’s sure to be a hit with collectors. Struck in a full ounce of pure 99.99% silver, the large 40.6 mm coin features a design of two Hot Wheels cars racing below a 50^th anniversary logo. The zero of the logo looks like it was made from a racing track that spins off into two tracks the cars are racing on. A checkered flag background and the famous blazing Hot Wheels pennant logo round out the design. But what really brings the design to life is its selective use of color. Both cars are colorized to add an exciting 3D effect that makes it appear as if they are racing off the coin and into your hands!

Officially licensed by Mattel, your 2018 Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary One-Ounce Silver Proof is from a strict limited edition of just 5,000 proof coins. That is an extremely low edition limit – especially when you consider how many serious Hot Wheels car collectors there are. Some of the early Hot Wheels cars like King ‘Kuda and the Red Baron from 1970, or the Evil Weevil from 1971 can each sell for hundreds of dollars. If only a fraction of these collectors want to acquire one of these silver coins, you can see how demand will far exceed supply.
