Later, Gator! This Alligator Gone Coin Was An Instant Sell-Out!
Only in America would you find a gator wandering across a golf course or floating blissfully in someone’s backyard pool. Perhaps that’s why this crocodilian reptile is officially called the American Alligator. It also serves as the mascot for the University of Florida and famously appeared as one of the most popular characters in Walt Kelley’s iconic Pogo comic strip that ran from 1948 to 1975 in which irascible, cigar-chomping Albert the Alligator and his voracious appetite was accused more than once of eating the gang’s missing dog. The gator depicted on this coin would appear to have devoured more than just the family pet as it’s shown swimming past an empty fishing boat with someone’s hat floating nearby. It looks like the missing angler got more than he bargained for this time out!
Fabulous Silver Coin Features Ultra High Relief Gator Design
Struck by Germany’s world-famous Mayer Mint in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the colorized design has proven to be so popular that the entire worldwide mintage of just 999 coins sold out within weeks following its early 2022 release! Of course, there are other factors that make this coin such an incredible hit with collectors. Take the amazing Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail for example. Using Coin Invest Trust (CIT) Smartminting© technology, the Mayer Mint has crafted a masterpiece of numismatic art with details that rise dramatically from the surface of the coin giving it an almost three-dimensional appearance. Then there’s the obverse design. While the coin’s reverse shows a bird’s eye view of the scene, the obverse design presents a mirror image of the gator swimming past the boat—only this view is from beneath the murky swamp waters!
