<p>[QUOTE="oz_in_ohio, post: 2838032, member: 89534"]Firstly what is the auction number in ebay...You did not disclose that so we do not have to search..... Secondly as long as those german items are all 1 ounce each, then the price of the silver eagles can come into play..... Some of those german items look like cupro nickel</p><p><br /></p><p>33 x 1706 = 562.98 but that is for pure silver or .999 </p><p><br /></p><p>Then take 85% of that and it comes down to $487.53</p><p>Just remember that is what a dealer will more than likely pay IF THEY ARE ALL SILVER!!!!</p><p> Something else that oldhoopster and myself did not add was that in your posting, this is what you said " QUOTE The guy is a good friend and his grandfather handed them down but he has no interest in them so he said he rather they go to me or someone who would appreciate the coin not the metal. " UNQUOTE.... He would have done all the homework first so please dont kid yourself...I guess i am a bit harder than others and that is because in my younger years i was burnt by a so called good friend. There is one hard and fast rule and that is there are no friends in business at all.... No matter how close a friend they maybe...Experience speaking here. I personally would take a bit less and sell to a coin dealer or place it on ebay for metal value only than doing business with friends is simply not worth it. if you lost on ebay, tell your friend the auction number and if they do not make the bid, it will show you how much they really wanted it... I place all this on the same line of helping an ex wife if she falls into trouble...lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
