Wow nice score. These come in silver. Will have to keep my eyes pealed. I wonder if someone didn't have a few gold plated. I have seen the copper ones. I find the silver variety more appealing. I just have a thing for silver.

I have the 38mm and 20mm in copper ... thought I may have had the gold plate, but don't see it, so I may not. I haven't found any mintage info though.

I just acquired a large lot of these medals. They come in bronze, silver-plated copper, nickel-plated copper, copper-nickel, silver and even 24K gold - and there are four different sizes... I already sold the the gold and silver medals, the rest I'll probably put up on ebay... Someday...

Thanks for that SPP, this one is supposed to be gold plated.
Was really inexpensive, nice and shiny, anything to do with
the Centennial, I enjoy collecting. The bronze, CuNi, and
Silver would make a nice set, with this one.

Not gold plated. Any of the 1967 medals that look gold plated, are mostly tungsten plated...

The medallion arrived today and it is a beauty. It says gold plated on the invoice, wondering about the tungsten theory, I've seen other versions on ebay purporting to be gold plated. It has very nice eye appeal but I know gold, and this is not lustrous enough. It is 23.49 grams and 38.1 mm in diameter, flat rim. Here are some pictures, comments welcome.     Edited by SilverDon

Are the silver marked as silver anywhere? I picked up one in an auction recently that said silver and it certainly looks like silver, but isn't marked in any way I can see.

Actually, I'm very wrong. I just checked the auction description and it doesn't mention "silver." I must have saw the colour and assumed silver ... brain must have been tired that night! So, this must be the silver plated copper version I guess.
