I didn't think there were any "official" Royal Mint coronation medals for Victoria.
Obscurum per obscurius
Are you kiddin'? MacCrimmon's servants take out his old $20 bills and burn them because they're not crisp enough.

<< <i>I have a shot at the silver of this one and was wondering what a good price for the silver would be? >>
What condition is the silver medal in?
I have this bit of data on the George IV Coro. medal......
35 mm diameter. Plain edge. Mintage in silver: 1,060. Reference: Fearon-272.1. Eimer-1146.
This basic design was copied in low relief for the regular coinage, which is known as the Laureate Head.
Eimer notes that the Buckinghamshire Yeomen wore this medal as George's Royal Escort at the ceremony. Those examples will be edge inscribed B.Y.C.H, and most likely in gEF condition or slightly better.
I know of a choice proof on the market several years ago with an asking price of $550 or so. An impaired specimen, of course, would fetch far less. Of course, with the recent increase in UK coinage, patterns, etc., prices for choice or better specimens could be considerably higher. Hard to guage since this isn't exactly a heavily traded market sector.
The silver is in about the same shape as the Copper I posted and it too is has an even dark tone.
