1913 Mercer Raceabout 1 Ounce Silver $240

Updated August 20, 2026

1913 Mercer Raceabout 1 Ounce Silver $240 This vintage 1913 Mercer Raceabout silver art bar is a highly collectible piece of numismatic history, struck from one Troy ounce of .999 fine silver. The obverse features a detailed relief of the legendary Mercer Type 35J Raceabout, widely considered one of the premier American sports cars of the early 20th century, framed within an elegant oval border. The bar showcases a distinct textured or frosted background that contrasts beautifully with the polished central design, while the perimeter displays a natural golden-brown patina typical of aged silver bullion. These bars were produced in limited quantities by private mints during the silver art bar craze of the 1970s, making them desirable not only for their precious metal content but also for their historical subject matter and scarcity. This specific bar is protected in a plastic sleeve with a lot identification number, preserving its condition for serious collectors of automotive-themed bullion. Condition: The item shows noticeable toning and oxidation, particularly along the edges and within the textured fields, which has resulted in a yellowish or bronze-like patina. There are minor surface scratches and contact marks consistent with age and handling. Mint: This bar was produced by the Madison Mint as part of an antique car series. Metal Content: The bar is inscribed as 1 Ounce .999 Silver. Historical Context: The design commemorates the 1913 Mercer Raceabout, a famous American sports car known for its success in early 20th-century racing. These bars were popular collectibles during the silver art bar boom of the 1970s. Strike Type: This is a struck silver art bar with a frosted relief on a mirrored oval background surrounded by a pebbled texture.
