Not sure I'd want any of those "silver" coins you had pictured. Look like something that scammers produce. I'll stick with something you can count on that has been assayed.

Hahah, I too do not care much for such silver. But the message is all-powerful! It was designed by Chris Duane during his first years.

I went to the guy's site as I had never heard of him before. Saw the two "coins of the week" and thought "the guy is using silver to make political points". A form of art/propaganda. I collect propaganda - I'm fond of Soviet propaganda, not because I agree with the ideology (I don't) but the quality and craftsmanship is really good. The space race badges are enamel beauties - some silver and gold too. US poster propaganda in the 20thC is good too (You would expect it to as The US invented the concept and were the first to open specialized departments).
This guy mixing political messages was a good artistic idea but I thought that they weren't very good pieces of art. I read a bit more and sure enough the guy studied politics and what's more he considered himself an artist. Read a bit more and he proclaimed himself a genius. I nearly wet myself laughing. He just waved "bye" to his cred.
One of these days I'll post some of my coinage. Highlights include a silver sheckel of Tyre (look that one up if you don't know the significance). A Napoleon 1st gold 10 Francs for 1815 (when he lost at Waterloo and was exiled to St Helena), A Nicholas 2nd gold 10 roubles for 1917 (the year of the Russian revolution). Gold and silver square Edo period coinage from Japan (I use to live there). There was a store in Tokyo where you could just walk in and buy kilo bars of gold and silver. I couldn't resist that and got a kilo of silver. So easy, no different to buying a coffee.
