malibuwilliam New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 03/25/2020 1:30 pm My Dad bought the silver set of medallions - 15 medallions in all. Each medallion is 1 oz. Should I try to sell it as a commemorative set or just sell it as silver? I have no idea what to expect for a price. I see that silver is selling at just over $14 an oz. So that would be about $210 How much could I expect to make? Thanks for your help Report this Post to the Staff

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 03/25/2020 2:34 pm I am not familiar with item and tried research ebay. So I found sets, distributed by Shell, contain 15 medallions on blue card or plaque. On NONE of the listings mentioned "Silver". Asking price range CAD 30 - 230. In one of the listings, there is interesting info regarding original price: Plaque - $2.50 Medallions - 0.25 each. However, you may have something different, more scarce and not offered for sale. I believe pictures will help. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 03/25/2020 3:39 pm The Shell medallions have a zinc coating on them. In Canada they are almost worthless, especially when the zinc starts to corrode. I am sure that the OP can tell if it is the zinc version or something else that I have never heard of.

But there was also a promotion to buy the same medallions made from silver and mounted in a wood plaque. It's these silver medallions that I'm talking about. Report this Post to the Staff

Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 03/26/2020 12:44 pm I've got a set of those...and also the provinces (with flowers) offered the same way by Shell. Unfortunately I never got the displays for them, and they are 'stored' in rolls in a box - somewhere. I think they represent the very first collection I ever finished. Report this Post to the Staff
