A bevy of new coins! Only a couple of noticeable prints on two of them.

One more and I promise I will stop.....


1983 Los Angeles Olympiad







I thank you for your patience ladies and gentleman. After all this is the bullion section, but I just couldn't resist posting something that I picked up for so close to spot. Now they're worth more than what I paid for 'em two weeks ago.

 

That's mostly on the holder Chris. Yeah that LA eagle looks nasty....

 

Thanks for the show! You can keep posting them if you've got them! Nice pick ups and a good reminder for bullion-iacs to not overlook these 90% silver dollars when buying bullion!

 

Since it's just bullion you could try an acetone bath without much risk of damage loss to the coin at this point just to see if any remaining prints might lift off.

 

I notice the slight beginnings of some "haze" forming on a few. I'm not going to worry over that as these are basically bullion and I can experiment and have fun with 'em,and in the end if things go wrong, not feel remorseful......

 

I wouldn't be bothered by the haze myself. Who knows, a lovely 'toner' may be blossoming... 50 years from now it could be a rainbow!

 

Ken: Really nice variety of modern commemoratives. Thanks for posting. They have 2 more listed on their site at 22.99 now...still a decent price considering silver spot. Enjoy, TC

 

Ya mean I missed two? LOL

 

i like the 89 congress and 83 olympiad ones. already have a 84 olympiad.

 

Good deal! I'm a fan of these too. I don't see how you can go wrong if you can pick these up for close to melt. You always have the value of 90% silver plus some interesting and historical designs.
A couple of the ones you got are a real good value. The Columbus and the Lewis and Clark in particular are on my want list. Those you usually can't touch for under $20.00.

 

not to rain on anyone's parade but I snagged one of those statue of liberty and a constitution commemorative for $16 each at the same time I got a 1987 and 2006 ASE proofs for $40 each I gotta say I'm pretty happy with where that C-note went...

 

Damn what some nice commems you got there. My fav is the Congress commem. I'm a big fan of most all the commemoratives, pre and post '82. Nice coins!

 

A soft camel hair brush, ten to twenty seconds in red cider vinegar, and a dab of palmolive soap and the silver commems will be spotless. Rinse HEAVILY with distilled water to neutralize the vinegar and remove remaining soap, and dry by dobbing with a soft cotton cloth. Do not drag the cloth across the coin. Very nice at removing everything, even light tarnish sometimes.

 

I think this may be the Nolan Ryan card that caused the comparisons with the coin:
