Now with silver hovering around $36.00 an ounce, and continued appreciation expected, those medallions have become quite the prized award.  Think of how many silver medallions some of our bowlers have won over the years.  They may have a small fortune sitting on their awards shelf.  Silver has been aggressively moving upwards, in parallel with the value of gold. 

Currently, Rose Bowl awards 1 oz. Pure Silver Medallions to the first place singles, doubles, and to each team member of the top team.  Ties can mean even more medallions delivered.  The Rose Bowl Classic is currently awarding Copper Medallions to the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in each of the events mentioned.  Bowl well and win one or more.

We encase the uncirculated, proof-like medallions in acrylic cases and encourage bowlers not to open the sealed acrylic.  In preparing them for the awards banquet, even we do not touch the silver with bare hands.  We use care and caution by wearing gloves to place the silver into their cases.

2025 Update:  Silver continues to move up and down based on the economy, worldwide.  Due to the economy, silver base is hovering over $36 per ounce.  As the economy heats up, we suggest you hold onto your silver until it returns to its highs.  If you ever want to trade in your awards, you can take them to your local coin dealers for pricing.  Note that these are personalized silver rounds, and not US Dollars.  For questions, just contact us at PdxBowl@comcast.net .
