The 2021 Antigua & Barbuda Frigate Bird is a 1 oz colored proof silver coin from the Scottsdale Mint. The coin is designed in .999 fine silver with a full-color proof finish that portrays the beautiful Frigate Bird, the national bird of Antigua & Barbuda, against the natural greens and blues of the Eastern Caribbean. Limited to a mintage of 500 per mint around the world, this is one of the rarest issues in the EC8 series.
All coins are legal tender, issued by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, endorsed with a Certificate of Authenticity. Colored proof finish is applied to the face of the coin after striking, and the original mint packaging ensures that the finish is kept in place. It is 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver and is a hard-capped proof issue that includes the bullion value of the silver within it, as well as the collector premium.
The Antigua & Barbuda Frigate Bird Colored Proof Silver Coin features a base metal that is coated with 22-karat silver. The colorized design of the 2021 Antigua & Barbuda Frigate Bird is a 22 karat silver over base metal.
The obverse shows a large, black frigate bird (more than 2m wingspan) with a red throat pouch flying over the waters of the Caribbean, all in color. One of the more eye-catching issues from the EC8 series is the colored proof process, adding vibrant detail to the bird and surrounding seascape. The design honors Antigua & Barbuda's fauna, as well as the biodiversity of the Eastern Caribbean.
It features the denomination, designator, weight, purity, and the Scottsdale Mint mark on the reverse side in addition to the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The proof finish adds a dark mirror look to the back of the fields, while the frosted look of the design elements is characteristic of a well-struck proof coin.
This 500-mintage proof passes my standards for coins I want to keep on my shelf—I'm not about to buy back coins I wouldn't want to have in my collection. The most interesting aspect of the colored proofs in the EC8 Caribbean series from Scottsdale Mint is the fact that there is a hard mintage limit of 500 – once they are gone, they are gone. Once you are ready to sell, our buy-back will offer prices based on the market's collectible premium, not a low offer to settle for a meltdown value. This is the genuine difference between the two dealers.
When someone provides you with a colored proof like this, it comes with a price tag that's worth the money, and that's just what you'd expect. The 500 coin mintage, Scottsdale Mint's coloring process, and the Certificate of Authenticity all help to achieve that premium. The important thing is that you are getting a fair price for those qualities. Our BOLD Pricing Guarantee offers you the assurance that we'll match any price you see at another dealer if this coin appears on the market at a lower price. We would prefer to sell you something at the right price rather than somewhere else at a higher price and then feel disappointed later on.
My grandfather was a coin collector for more than 30 years, and he told me a lot of things, but one of the most important was this: The mintage numbers are more important than marketing copy. The 500-coin proof isn't a pretty pattern; it's a hard limit that will never be changed by future runs of the press.
However, I would speak candidly to any new collector: Colored proofs are more towards the collectible end of things than they are towards the bullion end. For those focusing on the accumulation of standard silver rounds, consider standard silver rounds as your initial choice. This Frigate Bird is a good choice for genuine rarity and display values.
