Boxing legend and pop-culture icon Mike Tyson has joined forces with Houston's Celebrity Mint to launch a limited edition series of gold and silver collectibles, just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Crafted from .9999 gold and .999 silver, the pioneering legal tender trading coins are now available on CelebrityMint.com and eBay. Thousands of viewers tuned in to eBay Live as Iron Mike joined Celebrity Mint to unveil his exclusive line of products.
This is legendary, Tyson said on the eBay Live broadcast. This is humbling me. I'm very proud of this... This is the baddest coin on the planet.
Tyson's Celebrity Mint collectibles include:
-
Iron Mike Signature Series Coins, including 1,499 2 oz. silver and 491 5 oz. silver coins. Each item is autographed by Tyson and certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).
-
0.5 Gram Gold Legends Series cards, authenticated and certified by Numismatic Guaranty Co. (NGC) through its coin grading arm NGCX. Only 1,000 were made, including 100 chase cards with a vibrant green colorway.
