2018 Serbia 1-oz Silver Nikola Tesla Alternating Current Coin NGC MS69 FDP

You’ll Get A Charge Out Of This Silver Tesla 75th Anniversary Coin

For some people, the mention of the name “Tesla” makes them think of the new electric car. For others it rekindles images of the heavy metal band from the late ’80s and early ’90s. For those of us who have actually picked up a book, it sparks memories of the brilliant scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla, whose many inventions and discoveries are still in use today, making our lives better and brighter.

Commemorating The Genius Of Nikola Tesla

So, in 2018 on the 75th anniversary of his passing, the Serbian-born American finally got his due on a series of coins released to commemorate the genius of Nikola Tesla. These legal-tender coins were struck in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% silver and feature not only the image of the scientific pioneer, but one of his greatest inventions—the alternating current (AC) induction motor. Considered one of the Top 10 discoveries of all time, it made its public debut at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago where it was used to dazzling effect to light the massive world’s fair. The motor is still the main power source for industry and household appliances today!

Graded By NGC In Near-Perfect Uncirculated Condition

You’d think with a résumé such as his that Tesla’s name would be a household word. Unfortunately, Tesla sold most of his patents, and the fame generated by his discoveries was bestowed onto others. Discarded and forgotten, he died in 1943 alone and penniless in a New York City hotel. It wasn’t until a 2017 episode of the hit CBS comedy “Big Bang Theory” that Tesla’s name started to get its due among the general public. During the episode, the gang debates whether they are “Teslas,” who make their own discoveries, or “Edisons,” who build upon existing research. The spike in Google searches about Tesla was felt immediately. Tesla and his remarkable invention finally take center stage on this beautiful 100 Dinara legal tender coin that was struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver. In fact, your 2018 Serbia Nikola Tesla Alternating Current One-Ounce Silver Coin is so remarkable that it has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in Uncirculated Mint State-69 (MS69) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections—well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series.

Fantastic First Day Of Production Pedigree

In addition, NGC officials were actually on hand at the Serbian Mint when these coins were being struck, giving them unprecedented access to these coins as they were coming off the presses! Given the opportunity to grade and number the best of the best means that not only has NGC graded these coins as being in near-perfect condition, but they have also certified them as First Day of Production (FDP) coins, a designation that means they were struck on the first day that the mint began striking the series. To qualify for First Day of Production, coins must be received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository accompanied by documentation from the mint that confirms that the coins were struck on the first day of that coin’s production. Collectors seek out coins like these because First Day of Production 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 Day of Production is only a fraction of the total mintage.

Act Fast Before Remaining Mintage Disappears

History buffs, science aficionados, and silver stackers alike are sure to appreciate the design and high silver content. Get one for yourself or for any budding scientist in your life. Just 33,485 were ever struck—and they are completely sold out at the mint! That means the time to strike is now before the remaining mintage disappears. Add one to your cart today!
