I wanna buy it but my budget's too small...

Old brick and mortar got a deal for me too...
I got collectingpneumonia and the exonumia flu!

This one is way better in hand! Serial number 0192.
I'll try to post pictures.

I really like the look of this one. Nicest I've see.

This one is thanks to @EagleEye

Cheers

That is very cool, I've never seen it.......
Those dolphins, or porpoises, whichever, are so neat .......

Congrats! That is one of my favorite coin club medals. I have the more common brass one and I’ve been looking to pick up a silver.

Would you spare the germs? Beautiful octagon....

Just recognized the dolphin pattern around the edge as my 5oz octagon but yours has to be the real thing....

Of note, this is also one of the error medals. The medal says "BICENTENNIAL" but 1874-1974 is a "CENTENNIAL".

"OLD U.S. MINT BICENTENNIAL - 1874 - SAN FRANCISCO - 1974"

Of the brass ones, 1,300 were minted with the "BICENTENNIAL" error and 800 were minted with a corrected "CENTENNIAL" die. Here's a silver with the correct obverse that recently sold on the bay. This one is edge marked with the serial number 35.

Anyone know the mintage of the silver strikes?
