The Lincoln Mint 1972 Annual Plate: "Dionysos et Pallas Athena" by Salvador Dali.

The Lincoln Mint 1972 Annual Plate:
"Dionysos et Pallas Athena"
by Salvador Dali.

In my opinion, this is the best of the three sterling silver Lincoln Mint plates by Dali.

The plate measures about 8" across, weighs about 282 g, and is numbered on the reverse side with a 4-digit serial number.

It is attractively packaged in a recessed presentation case within a tan slipcase covered in a velvet material.  A trifold information card has the plate's artwork embossed on the front.  This plate is a limited edition of 10,000.

Of the three Lincoln Mint Dali plates, this one is the least common.  However, it still tends to sell for less than the value of the silver (~$300) at today's market price (~$36 / troy ounce).  You can expect to pay about $290.
