Catalogue note
Two-ounce .999 silver Upper Deck James Bond Premium Silver S-1 card featuring Sean Connery as James Bond in Dr. No, double-sealed in its original manufacturer holder.
Condition: Front shows light-to-moderate natural-looking silver toning/tarnish, particularly in exposed pale/metallic areas and edges; reverse remains substantially clear/bright. User reports the tarnishing has not worsened during their ownership. No evidence in supplied photographs of severe black corrosion, encrustation, pitting or structural metal damage. Exact surface condition cannot be confirmed without opening. Outer rigid holder shows moderate scratching/scuffing and handling wear; both seals remain present with age/adhesive wear, especially at lower seal.
Completeness: Original Upper Deck rigid presentation case retained with both top and bottom tamper/seal strips visibly present. Seals are integral to originality/provenance and must never be broken merely for inspection, cleaning, grading or photography.
Mintage / issue limit: Later catalogue-attributed print run /25. Original 2019 launch/checklist material listed Premium Silver Redemptions but stated print runs/insertion rates were not announced. The /25 figure is not printed or individually serial-numbered on the supplied physical card.
Rarity / replaceability: Genuinely scarce / very low replaceability, subject to the qualification that /25 is a later catalogue attribution rather than a serial number printed on the object. Intact original double-sealed examples should be treated as especially preservation-worthy.
Public provenance: Original double-sealed Upper Deck presentation retained.
Authentication: Physical S-1 numbering, Upper Deck/007 copyright marks, Dr. No/Connery identification, 2oz silver statement and original presentation format are visually consistent with known 2019 Premium Silver examples. No independent laboratory assay performed.
Uncertainties: The /25 production figure is later catalogue-derived; original launch material did not announce a print run. | Individual serial number is not visible / not claimed. | The physical object states .999 fine silver; some third-party checklist references state .9999. The archive privileges the object itself and preserves the discrepancy. | No independent laboratory assay performed.
Legacy record ID: Record #009
Why this object matters
The earlier S-1 Connery/Dr. No silver card preserves an early example within this archive's metal-redemption sequence and its original seals. That context supports a small distinction from S-7/S-8; stable reported toning is not newly treated as deterioration or a reason to open it.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
