[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2170557, member: 112"]I'm asking - how Daniel's products are any different from those found at that link ? And no, don't tell me that difference is that the silver rounds are .999 silver and Daniel's are .900 silver. Or that those are all marked COPY, as they should be, and that Daniel's are not. That private company mints silver rounds of the same design used on quite a few US coins. Like these for example - [url]http://www.coin-rare.com/2-dollar-indian-head--silver-bullion-round.aspx[/url] [url]http://www.coin-rare.com/silver-bullion-rounds-silver-dollar-design.aspx[/url] [url]http://www.coin-rare.com/Silver-Bullion-Rounds.aspx[/url] That's what Daniel does is it not ?
