Ahem…you were saying? ;) [ATTACH] How many A’s do you see with a line through the middle? I stand by what I said.
I don’t think my dad bought it. It was in a junk jar with a bunch of foreign coins of low value. Like a 1 shilling British coin from 1956 and...
Oops nevermind I just found out. O_O [ATTACH]
I found it in a jar of my dad’s coins and obviously it’s not real but what on Earth is the point of making a coin like this?? All you have to do...
Yup it’s because an ASE is legal tender for $1. A silver round cannot be made legal tender for any amount as only the government itself can issue...
Just needs to drop $3 more then ^_^ JMB is selling random year ASEs for $33 if you pay by check.
Picked up some 5 oz generic bars and I got some Buffalo generic 1 oz rounds that I’ve seen all over the place but never bought before. Both made...
Hmm I could’ve sworn in a book I read that the more rigid designs were later issue. Perhaps I missed something? O_o This is what makes learning...
I believe that one was made by the Achaemenid Empire after Croesus was defeated by Cyrus the Great. It’s a little bit later than the Croesus ones...
But if you break them in half they get a bigger premium as fractional silver ;). Kinda like how 10x 1/10th oz silver rounds cost more than 1x 1...
I try to limit my risk by buying from reputable places like APMEX, JM Bullion, Heritage Auctione etc., since in my experience the odds of a fake...
Oh yeah and it’s not just rare dates & mints either! Apparently there is a new scam where they will melt larger denomination gold coins of common...
Oh yeah I have a Neodyium magnet except it looks different. It still works on the same principle though. I also bought calipers so I can measure...
Oh yeah that kind of stuff is obviously supposed to be kept sealed. But mine doesn’t have any labeling or information on the plastic. It’s just...
So you’re saying if someone used those sulphur treated canvas sacks were used to store silver bars maybe there is a chance? ^_^ Also I have seen...
Ewww black is the worst! Apparently Red & Yellow are the most desired toning colors as well as the rarest. Green & Blue are apparently the most...
I wonder if it’s possible for silver bars to turn rainbow colored like monster toned Morgan Dollars? O_o That would look pretty cool on a bar!
Just curious does toning matter much? I always figured that they could be melted down and used for industrial purposes regardless of toning but...
Nope! JM Bullion sells those separately.. But for $18 I’m not buying one. $18 is a fortune for a little plastic credit card sized thing.
That’s what I was thinking too but really it does make them harder to stack because the plastic makes an unstable stack and I don’t like stuff...
