Medal US Queen Elizabeth Visits America 1976

Her Majesty's visit to America during 1976 has been commemorated many ways, this one being a nice looking medal with the Queen's likeness, an American eagle, and a British lion.

Modern medals like this are worth their weight in precious metal (if any), plus value due to collector appeal. This medal was produced by the famous Medallic Art Company in Danbury, Connecticut, USA. The one in our picture is the pure silver issue, containing 0.88 troy ounces of the precious metal. Other issues were made in bronze and plated with gold or silver. They contain zero precious metal (the plating has essentially no thickness). A jeweler might be able to tell if you have a solid silver piece or a silver-plated bronze piece.

If you have the silver medal, multiply the current value of silver (see kitco.com) by 0.88 to get the base value of the metal.

Collector premium is difficult to estimate for these medals. The silver ones generally sell for $35 to $50 US dollars retail, and the bronze ones sell for half that. Remember that if you want to sell your metal to a coin dealer, he or she will generally offer you one-half retail.
