nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 8:01 pm If you bought them all assuming they were a certain percentage of silver (50 or more?) then that one is low purity, which would lead to a bad deal. But I don't actually know how they were priced. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 stated that he checked the actual silver content of all the coins before purchasing them, so it looks like he knew exactly what he was buying. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 8:52 pm How I look at this coin Total weight - 6.4G / .350 fine / ASW .0720 $23.00 X .0720 = $1.65 I paid $1.65 for this coin What I am trying to do is get a different silver coin from different countries. I hope to have albums (someday) that will be grouped by continents. Edited by GR58 08/21/2013 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 08/22/2013 09:18 am GR58, I got some great foreign silver for melt from a coin dealer in Bradenton 5 years ago. You're right; these coins don't have a lof of following in the US. It was at a time when I was interested in UK sterling and non-US Trade dollars. I've sold most of the junk sterling but kept the UK and French dollars. Here's the UK obverse "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
