Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 09/13/2010 8:07 pm What is its weight? and does it say anything like .999 Fine sliver anywhere on it..like on the edge. It looks like a Silver round to me. Assuming its a 1 oz coin... and its silver.. Worth about $18-20. Report this Post to the Staff
MKWelsh New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/13/2010 8:21 pm I am not sure how much it weighs. It's 1.5 inches in diameter, and it does have writing on the side I wouldn't have known to look for: SOLID BRONZE followed by 3 symbols, the first looks like a copyright mark, the other two I can't tell. Guess who needs a magnifying glass? Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
