I have this coin that I got in a lot a couple years ago. All I know is that it is about 6/10 of an ounce and I was told it is .999 silver. It is a JFK commemorative round and I have posted pictures below. Any help regarding more info about this coin would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

This piece appears to be pewter. I would guess it's softer and heavier than silver. Report this Post to the Staff
jasonli18t New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 8:36 pm thanks for the information. I'm not sure it is silver myself, but some google digging yielded some results for "heraldic art"? The good news with that would mean it's at least real silver, the bad news being it's unlikely to have any value past it's raw melt I would imagine. it weights about 6/10 of an ounce.

It is is nice shape and some people collect presidential memorabilia so you never know, it could still be worth a bit more than melt. Report this Post to the Staff
