Good morning TN,
I've been lurking around here for some time..enjoying the stories and gleaning knowledge where I can. I finally made a profile to get some opinions from some of you all. I'm not an expert in anything treasure related and will never claim to be one lol..so I'm going to utilize one of the best sources of info I've found on the net...all of you!!
The piece in question is a book of silver medals that once was owned by my wife's grandfather. There are a total of 50 medals with imprints on the front and a description of the image on the back. I'm going to include a few pics but let me know if you need more. The info at the front of the book says it is a numbered collection and the dies would be destroyed after minting. My first question..is this .99% silver? The write up describes it as "pure silver" and the receipt says "sterling"..see the pics below. I'm also guessing that it is worth much more as a complete collection and not just for melt value. I truly appreciate any info or opinions.
