Question about JM Lubary Argentinian medals

My LCS has maybe five of these silver Medals, all different, by JM Lubary. He is selling them for 20/Troy oz. I paid around $30. for this one. I wasn't sure if I paid too much.
Did I? If not, would you recommend buying the others? I liked them all, but did not want to overpay as this is not an area I have much knowledge in.
Thank you

If you want to create a collection dedicated to this medallist, I certainly would purchase any available at a reasonable price. I have found that silver medals are more difficult to come by, probably because they end up as melt.
Back in 2004, I thought about putting together a collection of Argentinian medals. Bronze Lubary medals went for under $30, normally.

@harasha Thank you for that information. The next time I get to that LCS, I will take a closer look at the rest if they are still there. This one is labelled Plata on the edge. I will have to check if the others were all silver as well.
I have found Argentinian medals are often silver-plated rather than silver. So be careful.
Glad that in this case, the edge marking made it clear.
¡Ay caramba este es muy bonita!
Glad you like it. I agree
It's certainly nice looking!

I just went back to that LCS. Someone had bought all of them.
The owner's son had offered to hold them for me but I told him not to.
Put a magnet on the one you have, just to be sure. Otherwise nice medal. Peace Roy

It passed the magnet test. But you saying that has me kicking myself for not doing it before.
When I went back to that LCS and was told that someone bought the others, I was also told that they tested them there and they were all 92.5. Of course, I didn't see it done. I'll take mine in and have him check it for me just to be safe.
Thank you for the advice!!
Nice, congratulations !!!
