This was not found, was my step-father's, but could you imagine hitting this thing with your machine? It doesn't appear that that has ever happened, though. 5 troy ounce, 925. He had two, bro got one. Priced around $500 and up on the web. I wouldn't sell...just excited to have it.

Awesome!
If yours weight 5 troy ounces, which would be 155.5 grams, it's not the one at the link you posted, that one only weight 14 grams, less than 1/2 troy ounce, much, much smaller than what you have!!

Here's a link to one like yours, the weight says 157.7 grams, so a little over 5 tory ounces!!

Many thanks AU. No one knows how many Large/Rare 5 ouncers were minted it appears; seems they didn't record it according to what I saw.
 
Hey Chris, nice that your bro got one too…
You back from JH?

Hey Dave. Yeah, it was a nice memorial. I need to go back up there to go through the house with my brother ... so much stuff, estate sale is set for August. Might be moving up there if things work out.
