TheFlyingPenny New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 01:41 am Hello all. This is my first time posting anything on this forum. I started collecting coins a few weeks ago when I found a 1882 Shield nickel in an old box of change. Anyways, the other day my mother game me a display case with 9... well, I'm not sure what to call them. Bullion coins? Medals? Commemorative coins? I don't think they're technically coins since they don't have a denomination or a country name on them. They do say they are 1 troy ounce of .999 silver. Apparently the medal or coin is called a Silver Pegasus and they were produced by a local (now obsolete) mining company. The reverse of each coin has a different historically significant local mining location for each year. I was wondering if they might have any numismatic value beyond the spot price of silver. I've attached a picture of the obverse and it strikes me as a very beautiful coin. Even in they don't have any additional value, I could never sell them because I found out my mother designed them! Anyways, I really want to know what all of you think of them! Report this Post to the Staff

Mechman Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 11:54 am The story that goes with these coins is wonderful. If you can get some documentation to go with them it will tell your children the story and give them a sense of family. Even if you just write down your Mom's account it will be good. They are certainly worth more than melt value. Nice start to collection. Have fun! Edited by Mechman 07/15/2012 11:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 04:32 am Is this silver plated or solid silver? I see no statement of fineness or weight. Report this Post to the Staff
TheFlyingPenny New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 04:36 am It is solid silver. The declaration of weight and silver content is on the reverse. I've included a picture of the reverse of one of them. There is a different scene on the back of each coin. As you can see, they are 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Report this Post to the Staff
