<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1230158, member: 28971"]I'll wait till they are priced lower on the 'bay. These have NO marking of the silver content. This can, and will, make them less 'liquid' IF you intended on selling them as silver IF silver hits, hypothetically, $100 an oz. The same thing happened to the Bicentennial medals the Mint issued in '74...no markings at all. I've seen those medals on ebay, with sellers stating they are anywhere from 40%, .900, and .925 sterling. It will make it very difficult, as the buyers of silver don't want to take the time to test it to see. Though, there is no 'clad' evident in these medals (discounting the 40% claims), you really don't know what it is. The Bicentennial medals don't even have the purity in the COA....but I doubt that makes a difference, without it on the medal itself, silver buyers WILL pass on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a collectible, to keep, I'll still wait for lower prices on the 'bay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
