Dillon Gage Metals, a reliable international precious metals wholesaler, issued an original and exclusive 1 oz. silver round which honors the 100th anniversary of the legendary “I Want You” poster. The famous recruiting poster of the US Army, featuring “Uncle Sam”, celebrates its milestone birthday in 2017. It was originally created as the cover of the Leslie’s Weekly issue from Julie 6, 1916, which displayed the well-known “What are you doing for preparedness?” headline. The image was created by the talented 40-year-old magazine illustrator James Montgomery Flagg, who declared that his poster is a portrait of “Uncle Sam”. The cover shortly became “the most famous poster in the world”. Between 1917 and 1918, over four million copies have been printed and plastered on lampposts and walls in US cities from coast to coast, as the US entered the World War I and was in need to rally enlistments and support for the armed forces of the Nation. Due to its huge popularity, the poster was revived in 1941, being adapted and used in World War II, and again, becoming a huge success. Carrying an iconic image, this superb silver round honors the sacrifice of the men and women who bravely answered the poster’s call to action. For this reason, this special round is a unique addition to any collection and a great gift for any history fan. Coin Features: Struck from 99.9% pure silver; weight of 1 troy ounce.
