My 6 dollar gamble

I probably got rooked on this and I don't know why I bought it but I did. The nickels are for sure culls and the cents look the part as well. I will post pictures when I get them.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250543738485&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_1182

I like how they say silver is more scarce than gold and all that other stuff.

 

Yeah - sometimes worth the gamble. The way I have it figured using that coinflation site you have at least $4 in silver.

 

thanks, so I will see what they look like. terrible pictures though.

 

you should be all right on that, doesn't look bad at all.

 

The silver in the two coins is worth more than you paid so you are fine.

 

Speaking of cheap silver.....These contain one ounce of fine silver. They weight 34 grams and are .925.

That's not even a gamble.

thanks for all the help. that is a good deal. is it your listing.

 

Nope....just passing it along.

and it is an ounce?

 

These weigh 34 grams....and an ounce is 28 grams. They contain the same ounce of pure silver that an ASE does.

oh thanks for the info. It might not be available in 2 minutes.:hammer:

 

If I had anything going to the refinery anytime soon....it would have already been gone.

I sent 31 of those to midwest about 6 weeks ago. I'd actually paid as little as $4.50 for a few of them....when silver was 13.00 an ounce. I bought all of them under melt.

nice. I might sell it to the local jeweler, he pays melt. and then get something a little more in my alley.

 

I think that you did just fine. It looks like about $10 in coins to me.

 

Gee, I haven't heard that expression since high school. Makes Coin Talk worthwhile!
