2014 $10 Cook Islands Nano Sea 50g Proof Silver Coin
2014 Nano Sea Silver Coin. Coin pictured is a stock image and is representative of what should be expected. For the first time, the Nano Chip is provided with a colour gradient which impressively presents the depths of the sea. Almost three-quarters of our planet is covered by water. 90 percent of the expanse of water is spread out amongst the three large oceans the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Additionally, there are a number of semi-enclosed seas. Depending on where they are located, one speaks of a Mediterranean, an inland or a marginal sea. The deepest spot at just over 11000 m is situated in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific. The offshore biosphere is divided into pelagic zones. The topmost zone, the epipelagic, reaches up to 200 metres. The largest biodiversity of animal and plant species are found there because this living environment is still flooded with sufficient light, moderate temperatures, and enough water pressure, making it still relatively friendly to life forms. The area between 200 m and 1000 m is called mesopelagic. This part only has sparse blue light and is already regarded as the deep-sea. In the bathypelagic zone (1000 m to 4000 m) there is a 400 bar pressure which equates to 400 times higher than on the ocean surface. The zone from 4000 m to 6000 m is referred to as abyssopelagic. The last zone, the hadopelagic, is the deepest section and reaches 11000 m. Although the water pressure already amounts to 1100 bar and the temperatures are close to freezing, living organisms exist here as well. Nowadays, we know more about the moon than about our oceans. Especially the exploration in lower layers is an extremely difficult undertaking and is certainly far from being concluded. We can eagerly await the results future deep-sea research will bring. Choice Bullion was born out of our passion for precious metals. We are bringing you this website to increase awareness of both the beauty modern semi-numismatics as well as give our clients access to low premium bullion. No matter if you are a seasoned “stacker” or new to the precious metals market, Choice Bullion was created for you. Our pledge to you is our “no cherry picking” policy. We hold ourselves to the highest level of ethics and guarantee that EVERY coin that we sell as “raw” is exactly that. We will never offer coins that have not met our minimum grading requirements as “raw” because we believe this is unethical and not in the best interest of our customers. Global demand for precious metals continue to surge. Proof of this can be seen simply by searching U. In the first 9 months of 2013 U. Mint sales of silver eagles have surpassed all of 2012 while the same can be said for gold. The other two countries which contribute most to global demand are China and India. China continues to import precious metals at an alarming rate while India has gone so far as initiating a ban on gold imports to protect its struggling currency. For those looking to just increase their precious metal holdings, Choice Bullion offers various lower cost options including government and privately minted bullion coins and rounds. We carry various bullion options from around the globe. While others may preach about trust and honesty, at Choice Bullion it’s not just words on our website, it’s our way of doing business.
