NFL themed silver rounds

Since the big game is coming up in a couple days I thought I'd check out what kind of football themed silver rounds I could find. I have to say, there are way more than I thought there would be!

This first one is actually kind of cool. It's a replica of the coin they will use for the coin flip.

It's one ounce fine silver and limited to 5000 pieces but at $175, it's way too expensive. I wonder who gets to keep the one they actually use in the game?

This one comes with a certificate of authenticity too.

Looking around the Highland Mint website you have to be careful. It looks like a lot of their silver rounds are actually just silver plated, but they don't call it out in an obvious way, like this one , for instance.

"silver mint coin", ok sounds good it's silver, right?

Nope!

And they do say as much in the description:

This limited edition 39mm in diameter silver plated coin is minted to commemorate Ichiro Suzuki 2025 National Baseball Hall of Fame Induction.

Seems like a detail like that should be in the item title.

Anyhow, time to get ready for the Super Bowl...
