[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 8018956, member: 13307"]Visited one of my favorite coin shops today - owner pulls out a small pile of world silver for me. Nothing too special in it, a few SP/UNC Canadian sets, a few French francs, a couple Bahamas early 70's silver proof 2 dollar coins. The usual. Then he pulls out an album FULL of nicer world silver including some low-mintage proofs...but tells me he'd like to show it to someone first before he sells it to me. Rats. Oh well. I still got a decent little pile of world silver. Then he goes in the back to pull out a few more things (he definitely Lt. Columbo'd me!) and included in the tiny pile are these two gems: [ATTACH=full]1390310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1390311[/ATTACH] I know the 1980 set (which has a lot of silver in it) is a [I]little[/I] better...but the 1984 set is a LOT better.

I'm curious if someone has more precise information - probably someone like [USER=78719]@7Jags[/USER] would know? So, even though I didn't get to buy an entire album full of nice world silver, I did get a couple cool sets to take home with me.[/QUOTE]
