I’ve shared a few of my passions on this blog- Aggie football, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and of course, bullion. I was raised wearing maroon and white and listening to good music.
For any Aggie legend to appear on a shiny silver or gold round would mean my limited supply of paper currency would be gone in a heartbeat. I would purchase every John David Crow silver round, each Dat Nguyen gold bar, and all the Von Miller bullion my paycheck would allow.
Everyone is passionate about at least one book, movie, musician, or hobby. There is a bullion series just waiting to be created based on your personal interests.
Perhaps the Egyptian Gods series tickled your fancy. Maybe the new American Music Icons is your jam (ha, get it?). If you are prepping for the Apocalypse, you probably love the Zombucks series.Â
So, what historical time frame would make a great series? What musician deserves to be featured next in the American Music Icon series? What sport, book series, factual or fictional character would look brilliant on bullion?
Let me know in the comments. How long have you loved ___? Why is it special to you? Can we steal your idea for the series?
Personally, aside from my yet-to-be-made Aggie football series, I am digging the Welcome to Silverbug Island Series. I like that the designs are chosen by the Reddit Silverbug community. It feels like family voting on the Christmas card theme. The tagline, “Hold it – Own it,” is every bullion fan’s war cry.
So, talk to me, stackers. What series should be next?
Happy Stacking!

Quite a vast collection of ideas. All of which are nice. I do like the pro-2nd amendment series idea. That’s a talking point for sure.
I would love to see maybe a World War II based theme. Possible battle locations, vehicles, & operations. (VE-Day, Operation Overlord, Battle of the Bulge, & definitely Patton.) Of course I’m a history buff, sometimes that’s a definitive time that seems to be fading with time, unfortunately.
Have you seen the WW1 dedicated silver coin? I think most any historical time period could inspire beautiful bullion, but I agree WWII would hold a unique ability to inspire a memorable series.

Oh wow! I thought I had looked everywhere for some sort of World War memorial purchase, and there it is. Especially featuring the Mark I tank. That will definitely be including in my next purchase, thanks J! 😀
You are so welcome!

What about this. …1 oz silver bars in puzzle shapes mabe 20… when the collection is complete. It’s the Bill of Rights on one side with the signers profiles on the reverse…..
Or…a puzzle that’s a real treasure map with clues to a to a true Provident metals treasure!!!
I’m kind of in love with this idea! 😮

Got it! Seinfield episodes! Shrinkage, the golf ball, adopt a highway, the smell in the car, and of course “NO SOUP FOR YOU”!!!
Haha, this could do well. Lots of Seinfeld fans out there.

Mozart. Beethoven. Tchaikovsky. Chopin. But Buddy Holly?
A classical musician series is a great idea!

How about a series featuring handguns and/or rifles?
…then the bullion and bullets can share shelf-space in the ol’ Heritage safe 🙂
Good idea! I know a few people around here could appreciate that. 🙂
We have this round, which has a nice looking reverse. https://www.providentmetals.com/molon-labe-1-oz-silver-rounds.html

I like the pro 2nd amendment/ firearms idea. I already own 10 oz bars of the don’t tread on me, and would buy many more. I also like the pirate and Egyptian themes.
As a marine vet, I always wondered why challenge coins were not made of pure silver or gold. I suggest you guys try getting into challenge coins! Deployed vets could possibly use pure silver and gold to purchase items overseas instead of using those paper pog things they issue at dispersing locations.
I think that’s a fantastic idea. I appreciate the patriotism and utility of it. I’m surprised it doesn’t exist yet, as well.

Why don’t you guys have a series commemorating the greatest scientific minds of history? Einstien, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Tesla, Hawking, etc. These are the people who have elevated the standard to which our species holds itself to which is why I believe they deserve a bullion series.
Wow, this is a really great idea. Brilliant!
-J
You guys would never do it because the rights would be just crazy and the blowback from a certain portion of the community would be huge. But I think a limited “Famous Playboy Centerfold” series would prove to be an insanely hot seller, especially to the younger and male segments of the community.
As far as using my idea……sure as long as I get my set “on the house”. 🙂
Certainly an idea I wasn’t expecting to hear! 😀

Howdy,
This Texan would like to see a 1 oz. Silver coin commemorating the Louisiana Hayride! The reverse would have a young Elvis, while the obverse would feature the Shreveport Municipal auditorium.
I like it! I can’t imagine Elvis wouldn’t look incredible on a round!
