Day of Resistance One Ounce Silver Round "Come and Take it"
In partnership with the American Open Currency Standard, Day of Resistance is releasing its official silver round - The COME AND TAKE IT Second Amendment Medallion.
This .999 fine silver medallion bears the famous image of the Concord Minute Man of 1775 statue from Massachusetts on the obverse and COME AND TAKE IT with crossed AR-15s on the reverse.
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
-Amendment II, Constitution of the United States
This medallion is being released on February 23 (.223) as we both celebrate our right to protect ourselves and stand, unwavering, in our resolve to resist the federal gun grab that has targeted our self-defense rifles - most notably the AR-15 which, as you already know fires .223 Remington ammunition.
This .999 fine silver medallion is minted with a satin finish and is bullion priced at only $2.99 over spot (that's less than silver eagles in low quantities) to encourage you to stack. Most collectors will pick up a tube of twenty of these, both for their collection and as an investment.
This limited edition medallion features the minute man on it's obverse and the ever-popular "Come & Take It" phrase on the reverse floating above crossed AR-15s which have come under heavy fire from the media and the President in recent months.
This beautiful medallion was created as a token of our right to bear arms. Minted on an AOCS approved, .999 pure silver medallion, this piece represents a movement of proud Americans who will peaceably assemble on February 23 (.223) to tell the federal government that they have no authority to take away our ability to protect ourselves.
“The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.” - Thomas Jefferson
This most basic right has been at the cornerstone of the American tradition since before we were even founded as an independent nation from England.
While none approve of the misuse of weapons or the pain and suffering at the hands of armed madmen, we are able to understand that the very right for law-abiding citizens to be armed is at the foundation of our protection from such men
As the sacred latin phrase says "abusus non tollit usum"
Which means "abuse does not take away use, i.e., is not an argument against proper use"
This is far from the first time a government has tried to grab our guns. It's not even the first time our government has tried. Throughout history in Russia, in Germany, even in the Texas War of Independence.
In 1835 "Texians" stood up against Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea of the Mexican Army when he tried to take away their cannon. Before the battle of Gonzales, which many consider the beginning of the Texas Revolution, they raised a flag for the Mexicans to see. It boldly stated the words "Come and Take It."
On January 16, 2013, President Barack Obama issued 23 executive actions against your 2nd amendment Constitutional right to bear arms. He did this without the consent of Congress which in itself, violates the foundation of the Constitution and the co-equal branches of government.
In response to these unconstitutional actions by the President, on .223, February 23, 2013 the American people will stand together in defiance to protect the right that protects ALL of our rights, the 2nd Amendment! They will organize locally so that they may band together neighbor to neighbor and reassert their community's right to determine their own destiny!
This medallion is more than just a commemorative token from an event. It is another way of resisting the Federal Government.
Since the beginning of the 20th century our government and governments around the world have distanced themselves from gold and silver as they not only drowned us in a sea of debt, but actually transformed our currency from claims for gold and silver to a debt-based currency.
Every ounce of silver you own is one more vote of nofaith in the federal government. See the Why Silver? page above for more information.

Silver Bullion Coins from Around the World
Some of the most popular modern collectible coins are the one ounce silver coins struck by various countries around the world. Generally struck in either circulation strike format or in a special format (such as proof or specimen strikings) more targeted towards collectors, these coins often feature distinctive and unique designs containing elements of the country from the country of issue. There are a number of countries which have produced these one ounce silver bullion coins since the early 1980s, while other countries have only recently added these types of coins to their numismatic releases, generally selling them for a premium over the silver content.
Bullion coins such as the ones that will be discussed in this article are generally struck in pure silver, with the absolute fineness ranging from 99.9% to 99.999% with variations possible depending on the country and year of issue. Initially most countries have offered one troy ounce coins only, but many series have expanded to offer both smaller and larger versions up to one kilo size containing 32.015 troy ounces of pure silver. In this article we will take a look at a few of the most popular silver bullion coins from around the world and provide a brief introduction to the series. While each carries a denomination and remains legal tender in their respective countries of issue, these coins are generally defined as “Non-Circulating Legal-Tender” abbreviated as “NCLT.”
American Silver Eagles

Perhaps one of the most well-known bullion series is the American Silver Eagle program which started in 1986. Struck in 99.9% silver, the weight and fineness are guaranteed by the United States government, making it a very popular coin with silver bullion investors. The bullion version generally trades for several dollars over spot value, which is still reasonable, although the Proof version usually sells for around double that amount or more.
The proofs have been produced yearly and come in special individual packaging. The bullion coins come in boxes of 500 coins (called “monster boxes”) which contain twenty-five tubes of twenty coins each. Special collector versions have been produced in 1995, 2006, 2011 and 2012, most notably in the latter three years when a so-called “reverse-proof” version of the coin was issued. The design has remained the same since its introduction in 1986.
Mexican Libertad

The Mexican Libertad can be considered to have been the first modern one ounce silver bullion coin. Introduced in 1982 in a one ounce version, it is now struck in minor versions of 1/20, 1/10, ¼ and ½ ounce coins, plus larger versions of 2 and 5 ounce coins as well as a kilo version. Like the American Silver Eagles the Mexican Libertads are struck in 99.9% fine silver.
Proof versions have been sold in limited quantities and trade for a premium over the silver content. Two different designs have been used, with the first type in use until 1995 and the second type from that year on. Like the Silver Eagles, the one ounce bullion strikes sell for a relatively modest premium for the most common years, although there are a few exceptions depending on the total mintage.
Chinese Panda

Perhaps one of the most popular modern coin series, the Chinese silver panda series has been produced since 1983. Initially offered in extremely limited quantities to collectors in a one ounce version, the series has expanded to include 1/4 and 1/2 ounce coins (struck rarely) as well as larger 5 and 12 ounce coins and recently kilo coins as well. The design changes yearly, although some of the earlier years had the same design for a few years, as well as the 2001 and 2002 issues.
Special releases include gold plated pandas, special strikings for Chinese companies (often banks), as well as Panda medals that are generally collected with the series and are usually released in conjunction with numismatic expos around the world. All issues trade for a strong premium over the silver content and Panda’s are usually not bought by investors seeking mere bullion coins.
Canadian Maple Leaf

Marketed as the purest silver bullion coin available on today’s market, the Canadian Maple Leaf has been produced since 1988. Struck in silver composition of 99.99% fine it comes in a variety of different formats. Uncirculated coins are packed individually while special collector editions often come in packaging ranging from plastic boxes to gilded wooden boxes. Like the commemorative coins that the Royal Canadian Mint produces, the total number of special maple leaf releases is very high, making it virtually impossible to collect them all without unlimited funds.
Some of the more noteworthy special editions include a 1998 10 ounce coin struck to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the series, a piedfort version (a coin struck on a planchet of double weight) released in 2010, as well as many coins with special privy marks. These latter versions have a special imprint generally in the field commemorating a special event or person. The series was further expanded in 2011 with the introduction of a one kilo silver maple leaf coin with a limited mintage.
Austrian Philharmonic

Another coin which is popular with bullion investors is the Austrian Philharmonic. First issued only very recently, in 2008, it shares the design with its gold version which was introduced back in 1989. The design features very historical elements native to Vienna, where the coins are struck. No special versions have been released yet, making it one of the more affordable series to complete, with a full set feasible for a relatively small premium over the bullion value. They generally come in tubes of twenty coins each, packed in simple boxes of twenty-five rolls.
Australian Kookaburra

First released in 1990, the Australian Kookaburra was that nation’s first one ounce silver coin. One of the most frequently changed bullion coins, its design has changed annually since it was first strike, while the face value was lowered from AU$5 to AU$1 in 1992.
From the beginning production included both uncirculated and Proof versions, while later on gilded and colored versions were added, and similar to the Canadian maple leaves privy marked coins have been released as well. For much of the series, mintages were generally limited to 300,000 pieces for the one ounce size coins, although in recent years the limit has been increased. Currently, the coins are available in 1 kilo, 10 ounce, and one ounce sizes.
Australian Kangaroo

Australian’s second longest-running bullion series was introduced in 1993 and features Australia’s most famous animal. The annually rotating reverse design has ranged from almost photo-like depictions of kangaroos to traditional Aboriginal art designs.
Struck in both uncirculated as well as Proof format, the coins popularity has excluded them generally from trading anywhere near silver value, whether purchased from the Mint directly or from dealers. This series is produced by the Royal Australian Mint, while the Kookaburra series as well as several others are produced by the Perth Mint of Australia.
Other Bullion coins

These are just a limited selection of the bullion coins that are released annually. The number continues to grow with each year, especially following the recent surge in silver prices and an increased interest in collecting modern world coin issues. The United States Mint introduced a series of five ounce silver bullion coins featuring the designs of the America the Beautiful Quarters starting in 2010.
In the same year, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced a one ounce silver bullion series featuring different wildlife designs. Additional series from the Perth Mint include an annual Australian Lunar series featuring the animals of the ancient Chinese lunar calendar and a Silver Koala series introduced in 2007.
Russia released one ounce silver bullion coins in a limited quantity in 2009 and 2010, displaying St. George the Victorious on one side. Britain already followed in 1997, but unlike the other coins discussed in this article those coins only contain 95.8% silver, making them less popular than some of the others.
Starting in 2013, this composition will be changed to 99.9% purity. Other coins that can be classified in the “silver bullion coin” category include New Zealand Kiwis, Somalia Monkeys and Elephants, Fiji Turtles, Zambian Elephants and Dutch silver ducats. Generally, these are released in limited mintages and sold to collectors at a premium over their silver value.
Conclusion
With so many different silver bullion coins available, it is nearly impossible to collect them all. In fact, as we have seen in above, collecting all of the multiple versions and sizes for even one series has become a challenging and expensive endeavor. The question remains- how should one collect them? Obviously, a collector will often limit him or herself to one country, and then further specialize in only one series or one denomination.
It truly is open to one’s wishes, especially since new series are created almost yearly, with new collecting possibilities opening up as frequently. Feel free to add a comment how you like to collect modern silver bullion coins, or if you have helpful advice for beginning collectors who are lost in the maze that is called “modern silver bullion coins”.

ARABIC DANCE - Magic Of The Dance Belly Silver Coin Belarus 2011
First coin of the series "Magic of the Dance" dedicated to the dances from different regions of the world. Issued by the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus and it honors Arabic Belly Dance, one of the oldest dances in the world!
The Arabic Dance
Arabic Belly Dance is one of the oldest dances in the world that combines elements and techniques of different countries in the Middle East and North Africa, although their precise origins have primary origin as ancient Egypt.
There are historical documents that prove that this sensual dance was used by the priestesses of the banks of the River Nile.
In Arabic countries this dance is called Raks Sharki that literally means Oriental Dance.
The name of the belly dance is beginning to be used in the nineteenth century by Europeans who travelled to exotic lands in search of new cultures, customs and landscapes. These travellers coined this term caught up in the belly and hip movements that did not exist in European dances. We have to distinguish between Raks Sharki (Oriental dance) and Raks Baladi (Dance of the People).
The Raks baladi dance is a more elemental, almost without movement, and predominant hip movements. Raks Sharki is the most refined and rich. It includes movements of Egyptian folklore, classical ballet and contemporary dance, with large movements, revolutions and movements for all parts of the body, although the hip ones are the most important.

2012 Fiji Apocalipse Silver Coin $10 Legal Tender
Apocalypse 2012 - SOLD OUT!
The Maya Calendar is the best known of all prophecies. It describes exactly the days of our present fourth period, from 11 August 3114 BC to 21 December 2012′s. The 21st December 2012 after the Mayan Long Count Calendar is the end of human civilization.On December 21, 2012 happens the so-called “galactic alignment”, where the sun, the moon and all the other planets in our solar system are located perfectly on a line with respect to the center of our galaxy. This event is held only every 26,000 years and is very unique.
What physical and energetic effects it will have on the earth, is still enigmatic. Many consider 2012 as the beginning of a “New Consciousness”, the beginning of a new, more conscious of this age to the present transition period of dramatic transformations.

Vicksburg 5 Oz Silver Bullion Coin Release

The United States Mint on Wednesday let its distributors know that they may order Vicksburg National Military Park 5 Oz Silver Bullion Coins on Monday, June 20, 2011
The Vicksburg silver bullion coin marks the ninth of fifty-six issues in the America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Bullion Coin series. It is the fourth of five which will be available this year.
As a United States Mint bullion product, the Vicksburg bullion coin will not be available for direct sale through the Mint’s website or customer service department. This is a distinction from the companion five ounce uncirculated versions produced specifically for coin collectors. Instead, a network of distributors, known as "United States Mint Authorized Purchasers," buys the bullion coins in large quantities and then resells them in smaller amounts to dealers and precious metals providers for a modest premium above the current spot price of silver.
Like the previous 2011-dated issues, the Vicksburg National Military Park 5 Oz Silver Bullion Coin has a total mintage limit of 126,700. This amount is allocated equally among participating AP’s. Authorized Purchasers pay a premium of $9.75 per coin to the Mint, and must commit to buying at least 2000 coins, with 100 increments permitted. AP’s typically have one business week to purchase their entire allotment. Bullion coins that remain unsold are later made available to AP’s who desire more.
All the America the Beautiful Silver Coins are struck to a purity of .999 fine silver. They have a diameter of 3 inches and edge letterings of .999 FINE SILVER 5.0 OUNCE. The coins share the same obverse and reverse designs as the companion America the Beautiful Quarters® produced for circulation. The Vicksburg quarter for Mississippi has not yet been released. It is scheduled to launch on August 29.
To date, all of the 2010-dated bullion coins have sold out, although they had a lower per coin mintage of 33,000. The first two 2011-dated bullion coins have sold out as well.
