Information requested on San Diego Silver medal
A friend has a medal I'd like to know more about. It is a 1969 San
Diego 200th Anniversary 3 inch Silver Commemorative medal that has very high relief. There is a fair amount of information on the web about bronze medals of this issue, but I couldn't find anything about the Silver 3 inch. Was a silver 3 inch medal issued? What is the approximate value? Thanks for any info. Steve |

What is the approximate value? It's a National Commemorative Medal, struck by the U. S. Mint in Philadelphia (hence the "P" mintmark on the reverse). 1,250 struck pursuant to Public Law 90-124 (81 Stat. 362). All have the serial number 1 on the edge for some reason ... The weight is almost exactly 8 troy ounces, and the fineness is .900, so the medal contains about 7.2 troy ounces of fine silver, with a current melt value of around $203. I usually sell these medals for melt when I have them in stock. -- Ken Barr Numismatics * * * *email: P. O.
