From another forum "Back in the early 90's I was working in Indianapolis and had a chance to buy something for $10. It was supposed to be Silver. Well I have had it all these years and pulled it out this afternoon and do a little searching about it. I have come up blank. What I remember was, the gentlemen that sold it to me said that he had the die and did some 'regular' strikes to complete an order. He then modified it to the 'just say no' obverse and minted a few. I can not remember how many he said but it wasn't many. I got it because it was silver and I did not like Clinton.
I now have a scale and wanted to see what it weighed thinking it might be plated etc, but it did weigh 31.4 grams."
Nobody was any help there, either. If this story is true & "just a few", it's a definat keep.

OK I have taken some more pictures. With my old person glasses I see that it looks like an "R"....does that help?   |

No idea what the 'R' means? Has anyone at least seen one of these before?

Well I guess no one has seen it or one like it before. Maybe it has some value more than the silver in it? I was sure the 'R' would be recognized by someone..
Thanks

I would guess that's the designers initial. Hey, at least you have some silver :-)

True - And that is the best part, but curiosity is getting the better of me with this one.

When you got the coin did it come with a free cigar  ? On a serious note, is that .999 or .925? Are you positive it's not plated? Just curious. |

A cigar named...er mon.... never mind..
As for the Silver, no sure but would guess 0.999, it weighs right at 31.4 g so I am pretty sure its one ounce.

Well its has been months and I have yet to find anything more. I looked for an R initial, an R inside of a D for a mint location/ID, and have searched through William J. Clinton Silver medals till I am blue..   Hopefully someone spots it and recognizes something about it..  Maybe it is rare? Maybe not....  |

Maybe the R just stands for "Registered", could be it is in the database of Registered stuff which can be browsed at online somewhere (ask google or bing) similar to the TM and patents. If it is then there will be more information as to who registered it, maybe the material and so on, otherwise you might take it to a good jewelery shop or precious metal or scrap dealer who own a XRF scanner and it will tell you exactly with a scan what % of which metals it was made of. Edit: registered trade mark search engine: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe...ish&p_d=trmk may take a while to you find it if indeed it was Registered Edited by Cointosser77

Thank you. I tried to see if I could find something but it was a needle in a haystack type event. I am going to take it to a coin show and maybe someone will know something. Again, thanks for the link (a good one to have anyway).
