<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 1117773, member: 17034&quot;]The claim about the silver being from WTC is correct.&nbsp; It sounds good but having silver from WTC is no big deal...there is plenty of silver running around from there and the amount used for plating is a fraction of one silver eagle.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If someone buys these types of items and brings them in a shop asking how much they are worth...thats their problem of not collecting becuase they like them...they only care about making some money.&nbsp; These same people buy proof sets from the US Mint expecting big returns.&nbsp;&nbsp; BUT some of the more interesting NC Mint tributes do bring a premium over issue price on Ebay...which is not always the case...but its not a default &quot;worthless&quot; like coin dealers tell the person that walks in.&nbsp; With a little effort and a good Ebay listing they may very well make a profit.&nbsp; I purchased a replica 1936 proof set, solid silver version, for $49 from NC Mint.&nbsp; One sold on Ebay for $350.&nbsp;&nbsp; Plus the WTC with the FBI reverse which were pulled from the ad in question sell for a premium too.&nbsp; &nbsp; Blanket statements about value do not apply, its all about who, when, where.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
