Multiply a few eBay coins bought this way and later sold, bulk or individually, and you are not making any decent return, not until Silver has spent a good deal of time rising in spot price above the OPs start price(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>*I use &#039;investment&#039; since this is only a bullion coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>That one can find Buyers on eBay overpaying for this coin (or anything) isn&#039;t much of a measure of success in this &quot;How&#039;d I Do!!&quot;&nbsp; The OP did do better than some who have been known to have paid drastically more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
