I had all four kids at the house over the Easter weekend so I decided to go grab the whole stack and show it to them. They know I'm a stacker and have seen a good amount of the silver over the years, but this was the first time they saw the whole shebang.

The three oldest kids are out on their own now so I thought it would be a good time to explain value and savings and to remind them to not keep the majority of their savings in a bank!!

Anyhow, as we were looking I came across this round that I'm hoping to find out more about.

I got it at a LCS (local coin shoppe) in Portland a few years back and all I can find online are a few listings on ebay with no info other than what it says on the round :/

I love the deep stamp and can just imagine the press slamming that stamp into these rounds.

I did give it the ol' neodymium magnet test and it passes, so I'm not worried this is fake, I just would love to know where it came from. I highly doubt there is a total mintage number out there, I mean, 1974!?!? Did they even have pencils or paper back then? Doubtful xD

If you have or can find any info about this round I would love to hear about it.
