This is a great example of the first 2014 Golden Enigma American Silver Dollar from 2014 originally minted by the West Point mint. Only 5000 were made and this is number #736!  This is the first in the series and by the most difficult to locate.  Start your collection today!

                             Standing out from the mass of offerings comes the first in the new series called Golden Enigma. Eschewing the gaudy and busy colouration of most of the competition, minimalism is the name of the game here and it’s pulled off with great success. The nature of the series is quite simple. Take a silver bullion coin, plate it all over with  the black-coloured element Ruthenium, and then selectively plate parts                              of the reverse side design, usually the relief parts, with gold.

                           
                            Ruthenium (Ru44) is an element residing in the platinum group of the periodic table. Like gold it’s a relatively inert metal, not reacting with most other elements and not tarnishing unless subject to high temperatures. It’s known as a transition metal and very rare, with annual production under 20 tonnes. It’s only the 74th most abundant element in the earths crust and generally found in the Ural Mountains, and in North and South America, with only minor deposits elsewhere. The six platinum-group metals are ruthenium, rhodium, the semi-precious metal palladium, the super-dense osmium, platinum, and iridium, the element present in the K-T boundary, a geological event linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
