Question
Hi,
)
My name is Kirby Gregory and I have been collecting silver bullion rounds for a little over three months. Usually the coins I get have dates and are newer coins. My grandfather got a coin that he said is over thirty years old and he gave it to me. I was wondering if it was worth some money and was a copy of a coin that was made it has 13 stars six on one side and seven on the other. It has a lady on the Front with a bow in her hair. It's like a close up on her face because it only show her face looking to the right and on the back there is an eagle with 13 star above it's head and it says One Troy Ounce 999 Fine Silver and the bird has a shield over it's chest to its tail feathers and in it's claws are what looks to be some arrows and a stem with leaves on it. Below the tail feathers are the letters D on the left side and a T on the right side of the tail feathers. Please tell me what this is, how old it is, and an estimate on what it is worth.
Yours Truly,
Kirby Gregory.
P.S I attached a picture of the back of the coin.
Hi Kirby,
Some collect silver rounds for fun and I'm sure there are people that have paid a premium to own different designs. This design is common and is only worth as much as any other silver round. Most of the time you will not get any extra premium for different designs because they are not coins, just silver rounds made by private companies.

Information given about values is general and determined by current market conditions and/or the price of metals. Prices and values are subject to change.
Please remember to never clean coins, this can damage and lessen their value. Also, soft plastics can contain harmful chemicals that can react with coins over time. Try using inert materials when storing coins. Plus, it is always a good idea to store coins in a safe. The safe should not be exposed to the elements and should not be up against a wall to the outside. These are just a few tips I have learned over the years to help keep your collection in top shape.
