Medal US Kansas Bicentennial 1974
Look closely at the edge of your medallion, Steve. It is marked 'sterling silver' which is 92.5 percent pure silver. I believe these medallions weigh about one troy ounce (a jeweler can weigh it accurately) and they contain, roughly, one troy ounce of silver.
Since your medallion is a modern piece, it is not worth much more than its silver content. An example in beautiful condition may garner, say, $5 US dollars over silver.
At the moment silver is trading at $21 per troy ounce, but tomorrow it will be different. Look it up at kitco.com.
If you went to sell your piece to a coin dealer, he or she would probably pay $10 to $15. The mark-up is necessary to keep the dealership solvent. Selling directly to a collector (on eBay, for instance) would bring closer to the $20 level.
