Bill of Rights Coin?? Scan Added!

bstat1020 · April 17, 2003 4:48AM

I have a one ounce silver coin about the size of a SAE and I am not sure what it is. I do believe it has something to do with the Bill of Rights. I also believe that there is more of these out there. On the obverse it has a picture of 3 men, one of them carrying a flag and the others have muskets. Around the rim is says " The Right To Bear Arms". On the reverse, it says "Johnson Matthey" on the top rim and in the middle of the coin it says "Assayers Refiners, 1 ounce troy Fine Silver. And on the bottom it has the intials JM with a picture of a hammer and a chisel crisscrossed. No date on the coin.

Can anyone tell me about this coin and if there are others that go with it (the other rights) like the right to free speech, etc...

Here is the scan.

Thanks

Johnson Matthey is a producer of silver, in addition to other materials. You have one of their one ounce silver rounds which may or may not have been produced as part of a set.

Sounds like a non-mint issued silver round. Basically silver bullion.

Sounds like a silver bullion round. From your description, it doesnt appear to have the required elements to be a US Mint commem coin. The scan will determine that one way or the other.

JMHO

It is for sure silver bullion, the main thing I guess I am trying to find out if there is other coins that go along with this one. I will get the scan up tonight.

Thanks Brian

It's a silver round, not a coin. A coin is leagal tender.

Like I said in the above posts, I know it is silver bullion. Let's try to get past the obvious and look at the question I am asking.

The main thing I am trying to figure out is if there are other pieces that go with this one. Is it part of a set?

Thanks Brian
