The description of this coin says it is bronze but mine looks silver. Does anyone know if this coin could be silver?

 Thank you,

Annette

If you are referring to this page

Medal - 75th Anniversary of Army & Air Force Exchange - United States – Numista

 

Yes, it was produced in Sterling Silver (925) mintage is 7,507 according to this reference. It has not been added to Numista and you could help by adding yours. There is a link at the bottom of the current bronze page “Duplicate This Link” and then all you would need to do is add your pictures and change the composition. The referee of that section will probably be more than happy to assist with any minor correction if needed.

Jerry, is the silver reeding enough proof with my pictures or is it something I need to get a jeweler’s opinion on?

i will add the pics.

Silver reeding??

 

It should have on the edge the following at a smooth spot on the reeding STERLING FM 70 P

If it does not have STERLING you have the bronze variety

I found the Sterling writing! So exciting!

 How do I add the picture to the site?

Alignment is really different or is that a mistake?

Do you mean compared to the Bronze? 

Referee for Exonumia from United States

Yes.

Just the way the photos were taken. Two different contributors using different cameras and different lighting.

Referee for Exonumia from United States

Shouldn't have anything to do with the pictures.  One says Coin alignment and the other Medal alignment.  Maybe I should have said Orientation is different although Numista calls it alignment when creating/editing.

It is fixed now
