Just like to share these rounds I picked up.

The Freedom America medallion is from 1970 and celebrated Christian Gobrecht, chief engraver for the US Mint in 1840.
Designed by Toivo Johnson, a New York coin dealer in the 1960’s.
1 avoirdupois ounce. .999 silver.

The other is from a set of 9 medallions minted for the Seattle World Fair in 1962.
15,000 mintage, 30 gram 999 silver.

Both were minted by the now defunct The Metal Arts Co Inc. Rochester NY.
