1 oz Silver Bar - Watergate 3-Bar Set (w/Damaged Box)
In 1973, the United States was transfixed by the unfolding Watergate scandal, a defining moment in American political history. Capturing the spirit of this era, Silver Creations produced a highly distinctive three-bar set crafted from fine silver. Each individual bar in this set contains one troy ounce of 0.999 pure precious metal, bringing the total weight of the trio to three troy ounces. The front of each bar features a poignant satirical design based on the ancient pictorial maxim of the three wise monkeys. One bar represents 'See No Evil', the second depicts 'Hear No Evil', and the third portrays 'Speak No Evil', serving as a sharp commentary on the political atmosphere of the early 1970s. Alongside these symbolic illustrations, the obverse of each piece bears the inscription 'Watergate 1973'. Turning the bars over reveals the official hallmark of the maker, Silver Creations. The reverse side also displays the essential specifications of the metal, clearly stating the weight, purity, and silver content to verify its composition. This set stands as a tangible, mid-century cultural artifact that merges political satire with precious metal minting.
