Mystery Coin of The Carson City Mint #5

1.Common coins were made on Press #1 at 1,500 coins/hour at 200 tons of pressure. To make coins like me, the press could produce only 360 coins/hour.

2.Some coins were made from gold, but I was made from silver.

3.I do not have a pedigree, but all Carson City Mint collectors like me.

4.My diameter is 25 mm.

5.My weight is 31.1 grams.

6.One can buy one of my siblings, without breaking one's budget.

7.In 1952 Nevada Museum robbery, the robbers missed me.

8.If you add all digits in my date, the sum will be 27.

9.Guy by the name of Ken is my friend.

10.I am small, but I was not a part of fractional currency's dismantling.


Who am I?

John, number 8 in your list threw me.

Garryn,

Very good observation. It does not make sense if you think inside the box of 13.

Try one more time.

The following hints may or may not help:

Could it be a piece of exonumia?

Could the date be 1998?

Or

Could John consider 2007 as 20 + 7?

Food for thought.

Rusty,

You are getting "warm".

In 2008 I bought this medalion at the gift shop of the Nevada State Museum for $40. One Troy Ounce of silver. It was made using Press #1
in Carson City. It will always remind me of my first trip to The Carson City Mint.
