otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 04/01/2022 5:18 pm Just purchased. I have researched it and it is supposed to be silver. But I get a specific gravity of ~8.65. 1/2 dollar-sized. Sometimes it's hard to get complete info on privately-minted medals. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12261 Posts	Posted 04/01/2022 6:29 pm @otto: Nice medal! I provided some info on the group of medals that includes this one a few years back. See it here: - C. Smith So-Called Half Dollars Make sure to read the thread all the way through - CCF member TNG has provided some great images of the medals in his collection. One note: 1) My understanding is that the medal is a base metal composition - copper-nickel - not silver. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
