Do silver rounds always have purity and weight details? A lady at work brought over a round that looks like it was a company gift for 15 years of service. It did look like a silver bullion coin with a proof like surface, but it had not details of purity and weight.

If a company had tokens made as gifts, they could put what ever they wanted on them. I would be surprised if they would include weight and purity as those would only be important to a collector, not the employee who they were recognizing.

Well here are images of it...the edge has reeds. It is the size of a 1 oz coin.

Proof mirror finish. One side has a tow truck carrying a space shuttle with "Jerr-Dan Stellar Service"

The other side says "PROUD TO BE PART OF THE JERR-DAN TEAM THE LEADING MANUFACTURER OF CARRIERS AND WRECKERS 1996"

OK, so I need some advice on this one. It makes the same sound as a silver round when dropped. It is the same size as a one ounce silver bullion coin, and it weighs 1.2 ounces on a postage scale. It looks to me to be silver, but I am nervous to sell it as so, without having definite proof.

Should I just send it in to the refinery and get the 80% spot price if it is silver or is there a way to figure it out?

As a follow up, this was silver, sent to the refiner and I rec'd my check.

I guess all silver rounds do not have weight and purity on them.
