Do you mean 20 pounds or 20 OUNCES? 20 pounds is quite a hefty lot of silver...
I guess since your father put them together they have no collectors value. From the OP I thought you meant these were government issued packages :)
Looks like AT. I'm no expert about toning so I may be wrong.
First, both look to exhibit wear and aren't key dates so definitely not worth getting graded. Second, is that a dead bug on the 1900 O case?...
I like the Ace 250's ability to pinpoint targets. IMO it really saves the need of buying a pinpointer. Then again, the only things I ever dig is...
I would hold the cutting knife far away until you can figure out the historical value of these. For all we know these could be rare collectables...
I just started last December and I picked up a Garret Ace 250 for my first detector. I use a AMES 6-in-1 digger that works great in most types of...

Sounding a bit too proud here aren't we? I'm a newbie now and I always will be :p
Anything can be a keeper if you see value in it. Personally I keep these but I don't see them "rising in value" anytime soon. The two coins...
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's even real. The text in "LIBERTY" and the stars on the obverse look way too weird. Then again, I'm probably...
