[url]https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/39896334_1000-silver-dollars-in-bank-of-america-sealed-money-bag[/url] Now, I weighed the bag myself yesterday on my own calibrated scale that I brought to the auction house. The advertised weight is correct. Can anyone tell answer correctly what is in the bag if there are 1000 dollar coins and the weight is 50lb 1oz? Would you pay $10,000 for it? Thank you math!
