Bought $57 dollars (current spot) worth of silver 1974 Bahamas proof set and the base metals coins were basically free.
Yep. The stores are consistent with the general market right. That’s why I prefer buying 1970 Panama 5 Balboas for essentially melt. These...
Yep. Especially when you look at the actual business strike mintage numbers for just most of the ASE years from like 2012-2020. Huge numbers...
Rhetorical question: Why is an ASE worth more on the market than a 1970 Panama 5 Balboa? Both have approx. the same amount of silver (ASW)....

Agreed. Likely a symptom of the lowball market hype and less about the origin as the opposite of the scarcity of MS67-69 true conditional...

Here are two from the giant weekly flea market from a couple weeks ago. $40 each: [IMG] [IMG]

I wanted to as I was changing my collecting focus(es).
Effectively, a 'complete' set is had if you acquire the 1885, 1886 and 1912-S. ;) I was one coin shy of a complete set before I sold it all....
And these are obviously near each other. I simply took two photos - one with one side of each coin and one with the other sides. I do think...
At the local giant flea market for $40 each: 1889 Brazil 2000 Reis and 1849 A France 5 franc [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Given the first dealer's buy/sell spread, I figure they may have made a terrible mistake....but they seemed to be genuinely happy I bought it all...
Bought the remaining 12 sets today for $480, then drove straight to another dealer about 3 miles away and sold them all for $888. /smile-smiley...
Then I plan to drive over to another of my LCSs and sell them for silver-20% and still make ~100% profit. ...so I got that going for me which is...
Well, apparently they bought them for ~$36 per set, so....
