Sure, Sel. Here's a link to the one's on sale on ebay. Just scroll down a bit to see examples. The original seller had these made by a private mint back in 2009; but I don't recall which mint was used. If memory serves, it was Silvertowne.

I remember the guy saying, even through his accent, that it wasn't silver at all, so even then I just bought it for fun just $3. And now, I have some people telling me it's real and some saying it's fake, so I'm confused. If it's real, it's a $25-$30 profit just for melt and if I had sold it on ebay before looking to see what really lay underneath, I would have felt guilty selling a coin for $100 and not even knowing if it's silver or not. And if it's not silver, it's an interesting piece (even though destroyed) and I find it cool.

And before I had drilled, I did a scratch test on the black stone and it came up as copper (because of the plating), so even if I had brought it to a Pawn Shop, the guy would have had the same results because of the layer of copper underneath so he too would have had to damage it to see.

And that copper plate still leads me to believe its a reproduction..

traevin: Thanks for the link.
Apollo has made some interesting observations and reasoning that would still require further investigation.

Does anybody have an idea who originally sponsored it's manufacture and issue?
I am completely in the dark on these questions.

I hope it turns out to be silver for you, but I cannot understand why copper / brass would be present if it were pure silver.
