President Abraham Lincoln will be honored with a presidential silver medal issued by the U.S. Mint.
It will be issued on May 1.
According to the Numismatic News:
The medal contains one troy ounce of 99.9 percent fine silver. It measures 1.598 inches in diameter.
To be honest, I am not impressed with the image of Lincoln on the coin. It just doesn't look right to me. The Lincoln penny has a far better image of the 16th president.
With the current spot price of silver at around $25.11/toz, The medal's price tag of $75.00 is a bit too pricey.
