In 1979, Silver traded at about $6 per troy ounce, a few years before this time the infamous Hunt Brothers decided to buy as much Silver as they possibly could. There initial decision to do this was to hedge their money against inflation. They chose Silver because Gold was still illegal for private ownership following the 1933 ban on private ownership of Gold by the U.S. Government. The Hunt Bros decided to buy Silver, they bought an estimated 1/3 of the entire available world supply. They were, after all, the sons of Haroldson Lafayette Hunt, an East Texas oil tycoon worth an estimated 5 billion dollars! Note the date on the bullion that reads, “MINTED FROM U.S. STRATEGIC STOCKPILE SILVER FORMERLY STORED AT U.S. ASSAY OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CC.” That’s right, 1981. Now, although the market had dropped to over 50% of its peak, it still had a ways to go before it leveled out. The U.S. Government, under the Carter administration, with this Silver Fiasco in mind and the end of Silver in circulatory coinage, meant the diminished need for the United States Assay Commission. Therefore, it was abolished in March of 1980 and all of its Silver Stockpile was auctioned off. This conveniently served the purpose of driving the Silver prices back down to their appropriate, ‘inflation following’ prices. A company by the name of “Continental Coin & Jewelry Company” based in Van Nuys, California (mintmark CC) bought a large amount of that Silver and produced the bullion in question. Commonly mistaken for U.S. Mint or otherwise officially authorized by the U.S. Treasury or Government bullion, this private company produced both Silver Rounds and Silver Bars from the Silver they purchased. All of the Silver is .999 in purity, and the back reads “SILVER TRADE UNIT” with weight in ounces and/or grams as well as metal type and purity. The coin you see is the coin you'll get.
