the Chris Duane
Story
Artist Chris Duane founded and created Silver Bullet Silver Shield and, later, the Silver Shield Collection.
The true essence of Chris Duane's success is his innate, artistic ability to design timely, poignant and beautiful silver rounds that resonate with his audience.
Chris Duane has been successfully designing and selling silver ROUNDS since 2012.
His primary approach has been to encourage people to "stack" physical silver as a hedge against inflation, bank failures, rampant government debt, and political manipulation of fiat currencies.
Physical silver has 10,000 industrial uses, including being antimicrobial, so it has value well beyond just being a monetary asset.
Chris Duane’s coins are also highly collectible, with a numismatic value beyond their monetary value. They are considered collector's pieces and frequently fetch considerably higher prices on the open market than their initial cost because they are artistically designed and timely.
Chris is a master artist, particularly when it comes to designing beautiful silver rounds. He is at his best as a portraitist, which is regarded by many as the pinnacle of artistic talent in painting. He has chosen The Golden State Mint to produce his meticulous coins because they are very skilled at producing pristine proof rounds.
Chris is seen as the originator of this MiniMintage silver coin production formula and the best in the business. His success lies in his ability to regularly create exquisite new silver rounds, week after week, year after year. Other people have tried to copy his formula and failed because they lack the genius of his artistry and his unique ability to continuously create new, compelling and beautiful designs.

BIO
Chris Duane was born in Minnesota, raised in the Midwest, and graduated from Boston College with a degree in Political Science. He then joined the Marines and traveled to many foreign countries. He later married and settled in New Jersey.
Chris began his career as a silver guru with the creation of his YouTube channel in 2011. In 2012, he was invited, through an associate of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), to write testimony about the importance of community currencies, eg. Ithica Hours, which was given before a US Congressional Hearing in Washington, DC.
Soon after, Chris began to design and produce Silver Bullet Silver Shield rounds in partnership with a local mint. These silver rounds represented and expressed his knowledge, insight, and expertise on the value of stacking, and investing, in physical silver.
ABOUT SILVER SHIELD

Due to Chris’ love of silver, his extraordinary artistic talent, and his vision, the proof rounds continue to be released for purchase, on the mint’s website, to this very day.
