Baltimore MD - The larger than tile legend of Cal Ripken's amazing baseball legacy is growing even larger with the announcement that baseball's 'Iron Man' is being honored on an authentic United States Silver Dollar. The unique baseball collectible features a highly detailed image of Cal, his famous #8, and a facsimile of his distinctive signature - all fused into the face of a one hill ounce, .999 pure U.S. Silver Dollar. The coin is completed with the phrase, "Farewell to a Legend" inscribed across the top. Fans around the country are scrambling to obtain this exceptional piece of baseball history before it sells out.
"Like Ripken, these coins are a one of a kind national treasure. The Silver Eagle is the first and only silver bullion coin in the history of the U.S. Mint. It's not only the largest, but also the heaviest coin ever minted." said George Hubbard of the International Collectors Society, marketers of Limited Edition collectibles.
"Once he's played his final game, Cal memorabilia will become one of the hottest tickets around. This United States Mint struck silver
Ripken with the enduring value of U S. silver coinage. It's a fantastic way to establish a link with the man who is a role model to everyone
