Anyone know what this Carlton silver coin is?
 

Attachment 93938

I have a whole bunch of Steve Carlton stuff--oddball cards, autographs, etc.--and I came across this coin. It seems to be '.999 One Troy Oz.' of silver, so it has intrinsic value, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what this specifically is?
(All the residue and scuff marks are on the circular plastic case it's in, not on the coin itself.)

Looks like a highland mint coin. There were others making them, so I'm not sure.

All that stuff is poorly catalogued unless I've missed s listing somewhere.

If its not a Highland Mint coin, its probably an EnviroMint coin. They made coins of many stars in the late 1990s. An Ebay search turns up 19 different.

Ah, yes. Those look much closer in style.


Considering how much work it is making something like that I'm a bit surprised how many companies were making them.

Franklin mint made many silver tokens over the years and used the same
type casing at times.
