<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 684068, member: 9474&quot;]A few months ago I bought this medal because I was interested in the design.&nbsp; The dealer I bought it off of said that it was made out of silver.&nbsp; So when I got home I started to do some research on it.&nbsp; I contacted one of the guys who runs the Franklin Mint&#039;s web site and he told me that this was a widely used pattern and that many private mints used this to make their own medals.&nbsp; Franklin Mint used this pattern to make a proof version.&nbsp; They also did one in Pewter.&nbsp; I have also found out that this design was used to make medals out of bronze, pewter, antique bronze and antique silver.&nbsp; I am assuming that one would call this antique silver, but I am unsure.&nbsp; My local coin shop guy who I bought this from keeps telling me that he will look it up, but every time I go in there, he is always busy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So my question to the gang is can anyone show me proof that this is silver?&nbsp; A web page would be great.&nbsp; A reference book would be fine too.&nbsp; Something where I can confirm that this is silver and not pewter.&nbsp; It weights 28grams.&nbsp; It has reeded edges.&nbsp; The dealer told me that it was made out of .925 silver and has a total silver weight of 0.8327oz.&nbsp; This is all I know.&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
