    the price changed because every 2-3 years the price goes up or down acording to my new krause catalogs..mostly up depending on the grade.. I buy new Krause catalogs every 2 years. the coins are cheap but cool. I recommmend getting them in uncirculated grade.

    1993 King Tutankhamen KM#793 5 pounds, .999 silver, 22.50g. weight. Value-$48.00

    cc 13 032.jpg cc 13 033.jpg

    I love these 2 coins. I see both these coins seperately going for $100.00 each for a retail price. I will never sell them I like them to much. I will get the small and large gold coins someday....way down the road lol.
