Is it a troy pound or an actual pound?
Troy pound is 12 troy ounces.
The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.
Usually these one-pound silver rounds come in a case or box with a certificate of authenticity that includes information concerning the manufacturer, weight, and fineness.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Maybe he's trying to put a big fingerprint on it to give it some character.

I like the one-pound gold by the US Mint. I keep a list of 21 different edge numbered examples that have been listed and weighed at major auctions the past 20 years and they range from 455.5 to 468.6 grams, so they are all greater than one av. pound.
Their average weight is 14.86 troy ounces of .900 fine gold and are 3-inches in diameter. My example is still in an NGC holder, but it will be in a PCGS holder within a month. This is from a 2022 Stacks auction photo.
Wow I never heard of these huge gold medals from the US Mint. And I was an avid reader of Coin world and Coins Magazine in middle school (mid-70s).

Nice, who minted it?
Careful stacking them -- somebody is going to rupture a disk.
Is it real tho?
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
don't know if it is a fake of a real one pound slug, but such real items have been produced

Is that a troy pound, or avoirdupois pound?
1 troy pound = 12 troy ounces = 373.2 grams
1 av. pound = 16 av. ounces = 453.5 grams

one thing that is bothersome is that it doesn't have the % fineness

Big premium over melt!
It's $old.
Why do you think so? I would lean towards genuine silver.
Lots of times this sort if thing is marked on the edge. Maybe the OP can provide an edge pic.
Ah, a troy pound.
Well, does it weigh 373.2 grams (13.16 av. ounces)? If "yes", then I'd lean towards authentic.

I recall those being marketed in the early 1990s. Probably real.
Real, with added fingerprints.
Interesting that the 1991 on the APMEX website says “1LB. Fine Silver” on Rev.
Whereas OP’s 1991 says “One Pound Fine Silver” on Rev.
The staggered "CC" mark indicates that it may have been a product of Continental Coin & Jewelry, which operated out of Van Nuys California.

I like the look and toning of your one-pound silver medal. Nice pick-up and a good photo.
