Salute To The USA Constitution - 12 Oz Silver
 
3 Attachment(s)
Greetings,
I have not been able to find anything about this commemorative coin I have. It is from the Casa De Moneda mint, Tribute to the USA Constitution. 12 ounce Silver proof - 5,000 made. I apologize for the terrible pictures, I did not think it would be so hard to get a decent picture. Lot's of reflections with this proof coin and taking the photo at night did not help either ... They do not do justice to this beautiful coin at all. I certainly hope to improve on them. I love Tom D's coin photos.
Anyway, I have not been able to find any info on this coin or get a guesstimate on the worth of this beauty. Any info would be appreciated ... even a FAQ on taking photos of coins.

Thanks

I've seen the 1 oz. size, but not the 12 oz. Here's some more:

Those are some big coins.
Butterfly migration in North America is a pretty neat coin too.

These are Troy Pound Coins.

Other than collector interest they are worth their weight (12 troy ozs.) in Silver at spot prices.

I've seen similar coins go for ridiculous prices (30+/oz.) on ebay.

Maranatha,

Interesting coins. I was not aware of them.
