That's a design flaw that you may want to fix the next go around. Genuine silver coins usually have it on them. Since we all know and trust Wheelz it's not a problem in here, could be an inconvenience at resale time though. Just sayin'.
Still, great design
I noticed this as well but didn’t pipe up as I wasn’t bidding. This is a valid criticism/point. Silver coins should note purity and when they are from less well known such as non-gov minted coins it’s very important in resale. I’ve traded a lot of silver coins in my day and the first thing buyers want to see from coins they are unfamiliar with is purity and weight listed on the coin and coa.
These do have a beautiful design btw.

Design flaw? That is your opinion...
I could stamp that on anything.. doesn't mean it's real silver. I wouldn't take anyone's word for it anyways.. that's why you would use a metal tester.
Same thing goes with weight... just put it on a scale...
And why would I trust the government and their coins versus any other maker? Seems like some blind trust.
I don’t make the rules I’m just sharing my experience with buying and selling non-gov coins. When your buying American Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Kruggerands it’s just the modus operandi. Now when an unknown mint mints they should follow those same guidelines because when your selling them without it buyers will shy away. I have gotten way less premium time and time again in selling silver coins without it.
“Don’t Trust. Verify.”
If you are going to sell a coin of any value you need to check it is in fact real, correct?
A stamp does not mean its real by any means even from a mint - test the metal or buy from a trusted source.
I've tested coins and bars that were supposed to be pure .999 silver and were far from pure, from a trusted mint.
If it makes you feel more comfortable you can pick up a .999 stamp on eBay for $5, it still doesnt make it real... is it not possible the designer did not want .999 stamped on the coin?
How many .999 stamped coins are fake? Just browse eBay to see this in action.
The stamp does not verify anything.
Thanks!
