I purchased these 2 coins off Ebay for $8 each. Is it a good buy or have they been cleaned or something? I weighed them both and they came out at 12.5g. Thanks for the help. I'm new at this, so these may be dumb questions.
$8 is fine. They are always worth melt, and silver is low. One day they will be worth more than what you paid. 1st one appears polished. 2nd one appears harshly cleaned. (cleaning scratches)
Cleaned and circulated. I wouldn't have paid over $6.00. Both are common dates. Hang onto them and you'll get your money back.
