I got this from a coin collecting merit badge at the summer fun show 2011 in Orlando. Any info on it like where it was made and the value of it? Thanks!
Not lookin' like a US mint issue..... Private concern for sure. Sterling? Melt value. Not a lot of demand (sadly) for these pieces. May be worth more than melt at the tri-centennial...... Edit: But I must add this Alex. You've collected this piece. For whatever reason it caught your eye and you decided to add it to your collection. Collecting is important, no, paramount. It's what you want and desire. Value is moot.....
And there's one on eBay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/1976-Franklin-M...24?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item256646fe60
The Franklin Mint is, in my opinion, sneaky about divulging mintages. Instead they might say something like, Don't miss out on this rare offer. This medal will only be produced for 45 days, after which, the dies will be destroyed. They don't tell you that they might be producing 5,000-10,000 per day. Chris
