What is this exactly? https://www.govmint.com/2017-100-dollar-5-gram-silver-benjamin-franklin-replica-currency-proof Measures 6-1/8" x 2-9/16" "Normal" $100 is 156 mm x 66.3 mm (~6.14" x ~2.61") Wikipedia Picture below makes the "currency strike" look MUCH smaller than a standard $100...? "Struck -- not printed -- in 99.9% pure silver and weighing in at five grams, this paper-thin 2017 $100 Benjamin Franklin Silver Currency Strike™ is the very first of its kind. Never before has a currency proof been struck in such exact detail!"
Its 5 grams of silver bullion. Get your wallet ready for a shock though. They typically only contain 5 grains
Please, don't be fooled by this one, unless you are into collecting such item. And if you are seeing it as some sort of investment - RUN! You will never see a return on your investment unless silver hits $1,000 an ounce. And maybe not even then.
Actually it reminds me of this item that has been sitting in my watch list since I saw a video of it on youtube. It is still overpriced, but a more interesting design. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-China-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
HSN is always selling these on their coin shows. That ought to be enough for a wise man to steer clear.
Well 5 grams of silver is worth almost $2.75. They are selling this for $29.95 and less $29.07 by wire.
