rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 07/28/2009 4:08 pm Apparently , the Nevada legislature coins comes in both silver and bronze. Your coin has the same obverse, but I cannot place the reverse anywhere. Hope that helps.

wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 07/28/2009 6:10 pm I know this might be a silly question , but you have checked around the rim for any indications ? I had a few of those in Silver and the makers name was on the rim as well as purity. Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/28/2009 6:13 pm The rims are reeded, so that's not a good indication. I also tapped them and they don't sound silver at all. Their ringing goes out really quickly. Report this Post to the Staff
wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 07/28/2009 7:02 pm Reeded .. thats just slightly odd I think.I collected a lot of medals and tokens but dont recall a reeded one. Its a striking impression of the Liberty bell,beautiful. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 07/29/2009 7:41 pm There seem to be some initials on both sides of the 1776-1976 coin. There are also other markings. Maybe you can look up those for the initials of an engraver, or the company that produced them... Report this Post to the Staff
