i bought it from a friend that works at family dollar. he said some girl came in and used it to buy batteries for her playstation remote. he swapped it out for a dollar of his and sold it to me for ten
i was going to buy one that was in really good condition at the flea market for 38 but i already spent most of my money on other coins
People do that. I wouldn't be surprised if it's real. Sounds like you and your friend both did pretty well. Stinks for the person who spent it, but we can't be everywhere to save everyone from themselves...
If it's genuine yes it's a great deal as it's below melt. If it's fake well you should know the answer to that. Question: Judging by your thread title you are unsure if you got a deal or wasted your money. Why would you spend your money if you weren't sure?
Can't tell from the blurry pictures. I can say won't be a good investment as it is only one coin and investment probably isnt the word to describe it really. It might have been a good buy at ten bucks though...so if real then spot price of silver is at 12 bucks on that coin so you are up 20 percent off the bat. Then if the condition is uncirculated (think no wear and tear) and the kid that bought the batteries did not get their greasy fingers all over it or drop it or worse then the value goes up from there. But we need very clear pictures of the obverse and reverse and out of the flip. Thanks.
I can’t see much, but what I can see looks pretty good, but overall I can’t make a call one way or the other.
I took this picture with my cell phone so you can too! Just put the coin on a flat surface and the put your phone on a roll of TP (or anything really) to hold it still with the lens over the coin. Get the coin in focus then hold your finger on the image on your screen. On some phones this locks the focus and turns off the auto focus so it doesn't keep going in and out of focus.
