Today I am going to take a closer look at my Nightmares of the Fall 2016 round. It has a spooky Halloween theme to it. I was lucky enough to get this from @silvervessel. We did a trade quite awhile ago.
First let’s start with the specs.
It’s 1ozt of .999 fine silver
The antique finish is hand-scraped
Limited mintage of 1,500
Comes with a COA
The Nightmares of the Fall 2016 round is minted by Heads or Tails Coins and Collectables. I checked on their website and was surprised they still have some available and it’s on sale for $49 plus shipping. I was amazed to see how different statues Heads or Tails Coins and Collectables sold. The round was designed by Aleksey Saburov.
Obverse-
It features scary looking tree that almost has a human look it because the branches are made to look like creepy hands and crazy hair. This side has the inscription of HAPPY HALLOWEEN and the year. The weight, purity and mint mark are also on this side.
Reverse-
This side is full of detail. I was so focused on details like the bat, spider web, spider, branches and the outline of the pumpkin, I missed the big picture. As I look at this today I noticed it all comes together as an outline of a skull. I am not exactly sure of what the meaning of the 1936 but I think it's the production number.
Thanks for looking at and taking a closer look at Nightmares of the Fall 2016 round. Did you see the skull right away when you look at the round? Have a great evening!
I always loved that design.
Me too. I can't believe I didn't notice the skull until then.
ok first WOW love it and as far as the 1936 goes I think its a homage to the old hobo nickels that would be my guess
Thanks corndog! I will check that out.
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
Beautiful round Mrs V !!!!!

Halloween, my favorite Non-holiday holiday!
Halloween is a fun time. I do miss sharing it with my son.
Very creepy round... in a good way!
I seriously can't believe I didn't see the skull till I did the post. Thanks!
This round is CraZy CReEPy COOL!
Yes I agree. The wierd thing about it is it did arrive at the house on Halloween.
I can't believe you never saw the skull! 😂 Thanks for the look 👍 Pics are great!!! Gosh, was that 2 halloweens ago?
Me neither but honestly I did research and it was saying something about a skull so I looked.much harder at it. Learning more everyday. 😁
Nice creepy, but not overly so that cannot be shown to kids. Good one!
Agreed not too creepy or weird just good Halloween fun. Thank you!
