Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2884876, member: 27832"]Man, that's a lot of stuff to puzzle through. The five/20/50 dollar coins are ringers, of course; I think the 5 is base metal, but the 20 and 50 may have silver content. I generally discount non-silver proofs that have been handled and stacked to face value, although I probably wouldn't spend them. That Florida quarter on the top of the stack looks silver, and there might be a couple others in the stacks, but I wouldn't count on it. I see at least 6 90% halves, and it looks like there may be a few more. No telling if any of them are worth more than melt. Looks like some of the Ikes in that top stack are 40%, but it also looks like there are some 90% dollars mixed in. I can't even count how many coins are in the stacks of dollars in capsules, but I would assume they're all 90% commemoratives, and value them at melt. This is a lot that I probably wouldn't get, because (a) I'd only see it if it were BIN, and (b) by the time I got done figuring out whether it was a good value, someone else would've beaten me to it. $200 FV total, with say at least two dozen 90% dollars at $12 premium each takes us to about $500, plus $30 for the 90% halves I can see, plus $20 for a few 40% Ikes -- I would've hit BIN at $550, but like I said, someone else would've beaten me to it. Higher than that, I'd have to study more, and maybe get some better pictures or further info from the seller. Lower than that, I would've stopped counting and bought more quickly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Waiting to hear what you paid and what you got, again...[/QUOTE]
