Great find! That coin has an $11.00 silver melt value! But it's probably worth more for it's numismatic value. Looks to be in very nice shape.

Nice coin there that would make my day! My pal found one of those Mexican Olympic Silver 1 Oz rounds once, he showed it to some kid who kept it, thats why I never show off any good stuff while hunting.

My pal found one of those Mexican Olympic Silver 1 Oz rounds once, he showed it to some kid who kept it, thats why I never show off any good stuff while hunting.

some kid was following me around while I was searching a school grounds one summer. I dug an avon bracelet while he was watching and he was like 'wow cool! can I see it?' I handed it to him and the little turd took off running, never to be seen again. After that, I usually just shoo the kids away.

Great find on the Olympic coin ironarmknives, that's a nice one for sure
