    Went to my LCS on Friday and made a trade:

    In exchange for (all junk) $18.85 US in 90% silver, $34 in 40% & 10 war nickels, as well as $25 US, I obtained:
    One 10Fr French 1906 (0.0933 AGW)
    One 9/11 US medal (one Oz. Troy)
    Two 3 mark coins (Prussian, 1910 & 1914)
    Three Italian 5 Lire coins from 1926, 27, 28 all in XF/AU
    (All of the following are silver)
    Three Swiss 1 Franc coins
    Two Swiss ½ Franc coins
    Three Canadian 5 cent coins (1900, 1909 & 1920),
    Ten Canadian Dimes (6 sterling)
    Fourteen Canadian Quarters, (4 sterling, including a 1900 & a 1927 in VF (key date))
    Eight Canadian halves (all 0.800 fine)
    One Canadian Dollar (1965)
    One 20 cent Newfoundland from 1912 (VF/XF)
    One Newfoundland half 1919C (VG)

    Well, you did get a gold coin.


    Not in the mood to do the math, how much do you figure you gave to him/her?

    Dollarwise? Total siver value @19.11 is $427.58. I figure I could have gotten $2.1 each for the 40% halves, & 12.5 - 13 times face if I waited for a major coin show (and risked losing value on the coins). 75 cents for the war nickels. I figure about $400.

    Looks like I paid too much? Or does the 1927 & the Lire balance it out?

    Thanks for the input. Looking back at it I have to agree.

    Well, the only people who don't make mistakes are those who have no coins

    And the mistake wasn't too bad. It was more due to concern that silver will continue to drop that I "valued" the silver lower. As is, I still have too much Junk 90% and not enough "coin". Plus I like the Lire, Marks and the 9/11 medal (and happy I didn't pay $60 to the mint to get it).:)

    If you like what you got. That's all that should matter.
