Hello All I picked up these 2 bowls with a Silver coin on bottom of each. Were these made in 1800's to be sold this way? Posting Under Peru also for help with 1 of them. Bowl with coin 2.5 OZ each. Paid $25 each-Please Help-Thanks so Much-Please help me out with Lincoln coin
The silver coins in this context have melt value only. But in this case, coins melt value is not the point.
Paid $25 each for 2.5 ounces each of +90% silver is about 45% of the melt value as pieces of silver tableware. That is a bargain. Congratulations!
As pieces of silver tableware, the total value of them both is going to be more than $50.
I assume the silver Lincoln medallion is 90% silver, the same as the Peruvian One Sol-KM#196.3, but I am otherwise unfamiliar with the Lincoln medallion.
