<p>[QUOTE="Idaho Guy, post: 6488468, member: 117906"]I forget the dollar amount, but it was basically at spot. I think the whole order, not per ounce, but the whole order, was one or two dollars above spot. As an aside, I picked some up from my local dealer the other day for under spot...I think spot was $1.50 per coin and I paid $1.25 per coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>As another aside, I think war nickels are pretty underrated. I mean, they track the price the silver, just like all other silver, and you can get them at or below spot, so...I mean, the biggest downside I see is the liquidity. Not going to be as easy to sell as, say, a silver eagle, of course. The other downside (which I don't see as much of a downside, but maybe I'm missing something), is that being a lower silver content, it would cost more to refine them than other silver. But in reality, when are any of these small bars or coins melted down, or need to be melted down, unless someone is doing it as a hobby? Anyway, I think they are underrated. Lastly, I guess they are not as shiny, but I like em. Like the history behind them too...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
