The 1987 $25 Bermuda Sea Venture Palladium is a highly sought-after coin, especially at the top-tier grade of PCGS PR70CAM with a “Pop 1” designation. Here is a more detailed breakdown, including historical data.
This coin is officially cataloged as KM# 53 in the Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins. It was minted by the Singapore Mint on behalf of Bermuda. The coin commemorates the Sea Venture, the 17th-century English ship whose wreck off the coast of Bermuda in 1609 led to the permanent settlement of the island. The coin’s design features a striking depiction of the ship on its reverse and a crowned bust of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf on its obverse.
The coin’s value is heavily influenced by its PCGS PR70CAM grade.
The value of this coin is not just its melt value, which fluctuates with the price of palladium. Its numismatic value, driven by its rarity and perfect grade, creates a significant premium. While coins from this series in lower grades (like PR69) have sold for around $1,100 to $1,500, a PCGS PR70CAM “Pop 1” is in a different league entirely.
Based on past historical auction data, a coin with this exact designation has sold for $4,750. This sale price highlights the extreme premium placed on unique, perfectly graded coins in the collector market. The “Pop 1” status ensures a very high value, as it represents the single finest-known example of this coin.
