<p>[QUOTE="oz_in_ohio, post: 2838044, member: 89534"]I have noticed the ebay auction and each coin / medal weighs 25grams each...As there is 31.1035 grams to the ounce, that makes it in metal value ( as long as they are all silver ) Features 40 coins/medals as stated in the auction but not all were pictured....In .999 silver, each weighs approx 25g. 17.06 divided by 31.1 = .54c a gram for pure..... .54c a 25 = 13.50per item ( if silver ) ..13.50 x 85% = 11.74 and that is what a dealer would pay.... If you pay between 9.00 and 10.00 per coin/medal , there is an earn of 10% for you and that is higher tyhan what bank intrest is. However i would not buy them as some look like cupro nickel and they are worthless minted in that metal. As well as that, some are cleaned and a true collector would not want cleaned coins in his/her collection... However if you have some money to throw away, throw it in my direction...lol...OIO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
