[QUOTE="FmrFiatFollower, post: 1375596, member: 35871"]I have gone back through the coins another 3 times now and have found another 22 ounces of silver, different purity levels from 40%-92.5. I have kicked around the idea of taking these off the market for a few days and have finally decided NOT to sell them. The more I look through them, the more I realize how amazing this collection is, and although I normally collect U.S. coinage these have really piqued my interest in foreign coins.
