It has an eagle in front of the sun on the front with the words "power and beauty" and the back has the constitution with with the words. also it weighs 1-1/4 oz not the .999 that is says. is this a rare version?

Steamwalker Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 07/07/2008 11:51 am No coin matching that desciption can be found in my commemorative book so I am guessing it wasn't minted by government. My guess is it is simply a silver round worth it's weight in silver. If it's an official US mint commemorative, it will have a denomination on it such as Half Dollar or One Dollar.

metallbarren New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 07/09/2008 10:45 am 1-1/4 oz is an odd weight for a .999 silver round. Either way I'm about 99% sure it's a typical silver round worth silver spot or maybe a little less. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/09/2008 3:59 pm What type of device did you use to weigh the round? Also, what was the weight in grams? Precious metals are measured in troy ounces(31.1g) instead of avoirdupois ounces(28.4g). 1 1/4oz is a very strange size but could be explained by using avoirdupois ounces and an imprecise scale.
