    I got one of these today. It is not silver, just cupronickel plated in gold, but it is surprisingly nice, far more so than I expected.

    A range of prices. Best price I've seen is ProspectCoins on eBay for $20, and today you get 10% off too if you use discount code.

    I've seen people already splitting out the round fifty and selling it on eBay.
