Description: In Stock and Ready for Immediate Shipment! A giant twister strikes tornado alley in Middle America on the final release in the 2 troy ounce Forces of Nature program. Ride the whrilwind on this ultra high relief, extremely low mintage (just 750) pure silver proof! Welcome to Tornado Alley, that scary, ill-defined area of Middle America where twisters can strike without warning, causing extreme property damage, injury, and loss of life. No, your eyes do not deceive you—that really is a cow being carried away. Poor Bossie's in for a helluva ride—she'll probably wind up three counties over. Tornadoes fascinate us because they show up suddenly and randomly, instantly carving a path of destruction across the landscape. Unlike hurricanes and cyclones, which take days to develop and gain strength, twisters are unpredictable—they just materialize out of the clouds, seemingly in an instant. The next thing you know, it sounds like a locomotive going through your living room—and tearing the roof off your house. Although they strike around the world, tornadoes hit most frequently in North America. Canada can claim its fair share, but the most (and the worst) tend to be in the good ole US of A. In fact, twisters have hit in all 50 states (yes, even Alaska and Hawaii!). What a design! A violent tornado is depicted in ultra high relief, ripping apart Farmer Brown's silo and sucking Bossie the cow up into the vortex. Look out, red barn and tractor, you're next! Who knows, maybe it's next stop Oz? Anyone up for a really green witch and some flying monkeys? Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Celebrate the random, demonic power of the twister with the 2024 Tornado 2 Troy Ounce Pure Silver Proof. With a mintage of just 750, this stunner is as rare as it is eye-catching—and it’s on a collision course with your collection! Our suggestion—jump into the maelstrom with both feet, grab the Tornado Ultra High Relief Proof, and ride the whirlwind!
