<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 270947, member: 3011"]It's a silver round. You can search Ebay on the phrase "silver round" in the coin section and see many different types for sale. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever tried to catalogue them or write a book about them. Despite this, some people try to collect as many different varieties as they can. At the present time, they have no numismatic value, but someday they may be treated similar to civil war tokens and hard times tokens. For example, there are silver rounds from the old Sunshine Mine in Idaho [which is reopening soon] that might have some historical value someday. You will notice that on Ebay, silver rounds almost always sell at a small premium to the bullion content, and occasionally much more. I happen to like them a lot. They are inexpensive, interesting to collect, and will go up in value over time at the same rate as the price of silver since they are typically minted in one troy ounce sizes. They are easier to sell than coins for full value [assuming you don't sell them to a coin dealer who will never give you full value] and for that reason alone represent a very low risk collectible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
