I am seeing good deals out there on rounds that have no private Mint Mark. I am hesitant to buy because their is no recognition of where they came from. Anyone feel the same way?
Not thrilled unless I can prove who issued them. Silvertowne has the poorest designs and dies in the bullion industry, so they're not proud of them and don't want to sign them.
Why would you bother, guys? Why create a hassle for yourselves when it comes time to resell or trade?
Careful. My neighbor bought 2 silver bullion coins at a flea market and they were fake. Weight test, magnet test or paper scrape for lead test. JM Bullion wouldnt sell you fakes though. I'd skip the no mint hassel altogether.
I'd encourage you to take a few of those random, unmarked silver rounds to a coin shop and sell a few. Then report back with what you get paid. hahahahahahahahahaha
Yeah, the point of this thread was to see who would buy these. I wouldn't but at $.29 over it crossed my mind. Is it that hard for a private mint to put some sort of mark ID on it?
Why deal with it when you can get name brand generic for the same price? https://www.jmbullion.com/1-oz-sunshine-silver-bar/
Coin shops will likely still underpay for these, BUT this is a great suggestion because the average buyer you would directly sell to can verify it is real (ebay, in person, etc). So, depending on your selling plans, if you plan to go the ebay route, this is a good generic buy.
What marks? Your language use is imprecise and you do not quote a post when responding, so what marks are you talking about? Are you talking about private mint marks? If so, yes, those could be faked. Are you talking about the Sunshine bars discussed in the posts above? If so, those security marks can not be as easily faked.
