Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 6:56 pm Some help here please. I can only find one of these in my cursory Google search on worthpoint. That one had the card which said it's 1oz of 999 silver and 10gr of 24k gold. Looking for value estimates and rarity. I guess it could be somewhat uncommon?... http://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...er-409526850 And check out how mine toned a light but deep monochrome purple... yes that IS what it looks like in hand! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Cascade 04/22/2015 7:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12277 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 8:44 pm Your medal was a privately-produced commercial piece vs. being an official state or city medal; it originally sold for $35. With a silver weight of 24 grams, it contains approximately 0.77 troy ounces of silver. The 10 grains of gold equal approximately 0.02 troy ounces of gold. Today, the medal is basically worth its melt value (or possibly a slight premium above that to a collector of bicentennial numismatics). So, the medal's melt value (today, April 22, 2015) is approximately: (0.77 x $15.75 = $12.13) + (0.02 * $1,186 = $23.72) for a total of $35.85 - just about what it sold for 40 years ago! It's a nice piece - one of a many bicentennial medals to feature Paul Revere. Maybe a collector of Revere material would offer a premium over melt? Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 09:45 am Thanks commems. Boy does it look like a commemorative at first glance. However with the beautiful purple toning color and decent amount of gold it's a keeper anyway Report this Post to the Staff

Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 4:17 pm My self, I really love the piece. I have been a fan of Paul Revere from the time my family took a 1 month trip up and down the east coast in 1976 visiting all the historic sites from the Colonial and Civil war era's. I got to visit what they said was a shop he smithed in. Very cool! What a trip and something I will always remember. Great piece! Report this Post to the Staff
koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 02:33 am Dar, Maybe you like this one. I had two partial sets of the Freemasonry medals at one time. Sold them off some time ago. Edited by koinpro 04/28/2015 02:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 5:52 pm I love the reverse... something about a coin with large, clean fields... perhaps that is why I love the Canadian 1967 coins....

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 3:52 pm I don't know how recognizable it is in my image but you can see Gilroy Roberts' designer's initials at the lower left of the obverse. The reverse was so nice that I used it as a pattern to make my own Freemasonry medals shown below. Report this Post to the Staff
