[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1733251, member: 26302"]The problem with silver rounds are: 1. Silver is very easily and cheaply fakeable. Pot metal of the same sg is cheap. 2. There is no standardized dimensions to check, so only sg can be used. Se #1 above. 3. There is easy way to spot a fake round by design like those fake ASEs you posted. As a result, any buyer of silver will pay a premium for ASEs since they can be more confident they are not fakes. Regarding what happens in local auctions, we have discussed that before. There is a whole other layer of stupidity that has ALWAYS occurred in such sales I simply cannot explain. Its not new though, same stuff was going on in the 70's.[/QUOTE]
