[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2347717, member: 71510"]I sold most of mine when silver was at $35/oz and did rather well. Roughly 80 of them went out in one sale on Ebay and I was quite happy about it. Lots of collectible ones and top dollar. I always try to pick them up when I can, but don't know of or track the rarity - and don't pay a premium for any of them. I have picked up a few lucky estate sale finds cheaply in the last couple years. A $7 Harrah's Tahoe which appears to be a full 1ozt coin. Defunct casino now, so it's a bit more collectible. A $10 Buffalo Bill's Medicine Crow (very common) And my favorite - because Caesar's Tahoe is defunct - a $40 Caesar's labeled 24 Karat HGE (heavy gold electroplate) over .999 Fine Silver. The strike is phenomenal on the portrait. The airtite is cracked, but I haven't mucked with it, at least until I decide to get a new one to put it into. I know these get top dollar. I'm sure I'll get good value from the right collector someday. [ATTACH=full]477606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]477608[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
