2018 Zombucks The Barber 1oz Fine Silver Round

Zombucks The Barber is the fourth design of 10 released in the hugely popular Zombucks limited bullion series.

Sales of these silver and copper bullion rounds concluded on July 1, 2014.

Mintages were limited to 39,847

This round is based on the U.S. circulation quarter design that was minted from 1892 – 1916 under the direction of the Chief Engraver for the U.S Mint Charles E. Barber.

It featured Lady Liberty’s profile (something not very common before then) with triumphant laurels surrounded by the words “In God We Trust”, the year of mintage and thirteen six-pointed stars.

But alas, now even Lady Liberty has turned. On the round’s obverse she cries tears of blood, her eye having been stabbed with barber’s scissors that were unable to kill her. Her torn and mangled flesh and the tattered ribbons of her triumphal cap belie the decay and rot that have overtaken her. This once great symbol of hope and opportunity has now become a warning post of the doom to come. The words “In God We Trust” have been replaced by “The Barber”, that sharp image of what Liberty has become. The year of mintage has been replaced by 2018, the year the zombies walk the earth.

The reverse side shows a bio-hazard symbol with blood splattered around it, reminding humans of the apocalypse hazards, with the year 2018 and Zombucks.
