Lately I've been working on a collection of British coins, and I came across a few that were listed in the wrong spot on eBay and they were a good price so I bid. I got a 1941 and 1944 two shillings, a 1939 six pence and a 1939 one shilling. Each was 99 cents plus 45 cents shipping. I figured they're 50 percent silver so this must be a pretty good deal, but I'm not really sure what the conversion for their bullion value would be. Not that it matters much since I'm buying them as coins, not as bullion, but I like to think I got a good deal. Any thoughts on this?
Assuming: - price of silver = $33/oz (per Kitco this morning) - 50% silver (weight below is weight of silver content only) 2/- = 0.1818oz, $6.00 1/- = 0.0909oz, $3.00 6d = 0.0841oz, $1.50 I collect UK, so I can concur about the collecting thing!
Good to know. Everyone on eBay is going nuts for U.S. silver but I think the silver coins from other countries get a lot less attention, which is good for me.
