I picked up one this weekend it is the silver proof and not the bronze I know it is a full Oz but I aint sure if it .900/coin ,.925/sterling or .999 bullion. Any one have a clue I know it is a US Mint product.

The American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA) medals, including the 1975 Paul Reverse medal, were struck in sterling silver (0.925 fine). The medals weigh 480 grains/1 ounce, so they contain 0.925 troy ounces of pure silver.

I believe the mintage of the silver Paul Revere medal was 227,058.

the The American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA) medals are by far the most confusing of all the coin series I have ever encountered. I do seek to know why (with the 75 paul revere medals) that some are dated and some are not. also a lot of people claim that these were souly minted in silver while others state there were bronze issues produced also but the primary question is how in the heck did anyone know after 30 years what is what..without a mark on the coin or paperwork they remain a mystery to many.
can you answer this?
thanks so much

Hopefully, the following will answer your questions...

The ARBA series of commemorative medals began in 1972 and ended in 1976; a distinct design was used for each year. In 1972, only bronze medals were issued; from 1973 through 1976, bronze AND silver medals were issued.

The bronze medals were offered in two packaging options each year: 1) housed in a small plastic hinged case, and 2) in a philatelic-numismatic cover (PNC) which included a block of four Bicentennial stamps. The medals in the plastic cases are dated for the year of their issue; the medals in the PNCs are not dated.

The bronze medals in the plastic cases sold for $3.50; the medals in the PNCs sold for $5.00. In case you were wondering, the 1973 silver medals sold for $10 each; the price was raised to $15 each for the 1974 through 1976 issues.

All of the medals, bronze and silver, were struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
