    No, but if I search for something like it, they show up on eBay once in a while. Privately minted medal. May or may not have silver content. Collect it if you like it, but don't spend much to get it.

    It's one of the ugliest coin I have ever seen!

    Not a coin. ;) The other side is OK, but the heads ... In my opinion, up to four or five works fine. 39, nah.

    Yes - we found about 40 of these in the bargain bin of an LCS and my kids each really wanted one. Since they were only $2 I said yes. But the heads are so tiny it is really hard to tell who is who. If you lose the card that has the key on it, you are out of luck.

    No silver, look on the card under the medal "Official goldine issue" Goldine is another word commonly used for brass. No one wants brass, but Goldine! (Thank you P T Barnum and W. C. Fields)
