    I remember reading a thread about kencor, is he a reputable seller?
    http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=390322219623
    I found some prospectors, some 70's-80's A-mark rounds & some us strategic stockpile & an American argent mint round looking through this hoard I just took on consignment. I was just wondering if any besides the prospectors carried a premium.
    Thanks!

    reputable, but his prices aren't the cheapest.

    there are fake prospectors floating around btw.

    There are also fake U.S. Strategic stockpile rounds as well. I picked one up at a local bazaar here in Afghanistan. It even weighs 31.1 grams, but is obviously not silver...

    The ones I have are silver, & most definitely contemporary. So, if they were faked they did it to break even. When I get them shot for eBay, I'll try to post pics here too.
    thanks all!

    They really fetch a big premium over spot don't they, round 25% by the looks of that auction.

    I believe that was a buy it now price, but I've been watching them go for 33-35 a piece in auction format, so yeah. 20-25% premium isn't bad at all.

    As a seller, youd end up with only $30.8 after fees (assuming the high price of $35).

    Prospectors aren't really rare. Normally, (outside ebay) they go for around the same price as an uncirculated ASE.

    You can tell the difference between real ones and fakes because the fakes are proof like. Don't think there is uncirculated versions. And they're visibly thicker than a real one because it's made of copper.

    I have bought from Kencor before, never had a problem with him.
