Central Iowa Coin Club / Iowa Numismatic Association 1961 medal
Struck and edge-marked by the Medallic Arts Company in "Fine Silver" (what we'd call .999 today). Remember at over 50 years old, this medal predates virtually all silver bullion pieces made for smaller investors and collectors.
Of course medals like these were melted en masse in the 1980s run up and all of the subsequent run-ups. Care to guess how many exist now? A couple hundred? A couple dozen?
Beautifully and intricately struck in super high relief. It's got the same kind of smaller but thick, thick, thick composition that the UHR $20 pieces do. It's about the size of a half-dollar but weighs over 23 grams--roughly 3/4 of an ounce!
It has virtually the same amount of silver that a silver dollar does. At today's silver spot as I type, that makes its value in silver alone just over $20. Asking $28 plus $2 for shipping:
