Help identifying/valuing George Washington inaugural silver commemorative

[mts]

Hey folks. My father just gave me a silver (2 troy ounce) commemorative round/coin. It is from the bicentenial of George Washington's inauguration. It appears to be a common silver round but I don't see a mint name on it. I've looked at the US mint site for info and it doesn't look like it would be one of theirs. It has a 5 digit number on the side of the coin implying that it was a limited minting. It also came in a nice box and plastic holder (no COA included). The box is completely unmarked. He received it as a prize for meeting sales figures way back when (over 20 years ago).

Am I correct in assuming that this is probably worth very little more than melt value? Does anyone know what company would have minted it and how rare it might be?

Thanks!

Hi, It looks very nicely done. I don't know which private mint made it but I would think that your assumption that it's value is a little more than melt is correct. There are specific collectors of non monitary silver rounds which may boost it's value. I would search Ebay for similar items in completed listings.

The initial "L" under the arrow points could be either the designer's initial or a letter in the name of the mint.

Thanks for the info guys. I've looked on eBay and Googled quite a bit and I don't see anything that resembles it. I'm going to continue with the assumption that it is worth little more than a standard silver round would be unless someone proves otherwise. It is very nicely done though. It reminds me of some of the Australian silvers that I have.

I didn't even notice the little L on the back. Nice catch!
