$600 that you paid I'm assuming, and not $600 face value of silver.  |

$600 paid, face was $25.25 face at spot price of 33.17, so I came out a little under $10.00 ahead

I realized the time and effort it's going to take to swap better coins with collection. That should be the fun part. |

Very nice turn on that lot. Surprisingly it's easy to find higher grade coins in these melt lots

Has to be a nice buy when you can upgrade you collection for just melt!

No pictures really worth taking. Nothing is in great condition, just better than what I had. The shop I get it from is great. Everything is up to the minute spot price. Even when I grab Silver Eagles they charge spot. I have no idea how they actually turn a profit.

Congrats on the upgrades and on getting a great deal. The coin dealer I usually go to lets me spend hours sifting through his junk silver and gold coins and once in a while my persistence pays off. I recently picked up an 1843-O large date quarter eagle that's easily worth double the melt price he charged me.

A Booker T. that I didn't have and a Columbian that has a great tone. I had a better grade Columbian but I like the "junk" one better. The third was the modern (1993) James Madison. I picked all 3 up for their spot value and put them directly into my 7070. I forgot how much fun this hobby could be!
