COMIX - Action Comics #1 1oz Silver Coin - MINTAGE SOLD OUT
We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you today! Get ready to embark on collectible greatness as we unveil the return of Action Comics #1 in a stunning new form — a 2oz pure silver coin! We will be releasing three more 2oz COMIX Coins this year, so be sure to keep an eye out.
Writers Joe Shushter and Jerry Siegel created a character they thought would represent the best of humanity and inspire hope during the brutal days of WWII. That character went on to become one of the most well-known creations in all of pop culture — SUPERMAN™. And it all began in the first issue of Action Comics from June 1938.
The story opens on distant planet, where a scientist places his infant son into a spaceship sending it to planet Earth. Crash landing in rural Kansas, the boy is found by Jonathan and Martha Kent, where the couple take in the boy as their own and grows up to be Earth’s mightiest champion.
Although originally published in the hundreds of thousands, the drive for paper during WWII, over-zealous parents, and the ravages of time combined to reduce the number of known surviving copies of Action Comics #1 to less than two hundred. Now, a copy of this comic which sold for 10 cents back in the day is the most valuable comic book of all time. In fact, it is the only comic book to have sold for more than $3 million for a single original copy.
Officially licensed, this brilliant coin is shaped into a rectangular coin to mimic a comic book. It shows a coloured image of the cover of the first issue of Action Comics from June 1938, along with a mirror finish border to further enhance the design. As legal tender, the Public Seal of Niue is engraved on the obverse.
Each coin is tucked in black velvet and placed in a secure, custom-designed box that includes a large window for easy display. A Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the box, alongside the coin’s unique serial number in the limited mintage of 1,000 coins.
