Chance, how are you determining that there is over $150 in silver in this thing? Based on the pics?

 Someone sure has a job ahead, breaking those out. I think you'd have to get the acrylic off for a dealer to give you melt. |

Just using melt values from a popular online silver coin values calculator, and using the following figures to estimate melt: roughly 30 dollars for a Morgan dollar, 15 dollars for a 90 percent half, 7.50 for a quarter, 3 bucks for a dime ... and enlarging the picture. Of course, the best way to determine exactly what's there would be to ask the dates on the Kennedy halves. If the halves are all 90 percenters .... and the seller states "the other large coins are silver, before the clad." ... and there are 12 half dollars x 15 bucks or 180.00 ...add to that a Morgan dollar for sure.... another 30 dollars, and I see mercs in there too. Some of the roosevelts may be silver as well. Just finding out the dates on the Kennedy half dollars would give you enough insight to decide whether or not you wanted to saw and smack the coins from their plastic prison. The acrylic will split away from the coins cleanly. I took a Morgan out of a paperweight .... no problem. Chance Edited by Chancellor Sutler

I think that every coin collector should have one of these in his home As if non-collectors don't think we're weird enough... Yeah, I'd smash it too if it was worth it. |

All you would need to get those out would be a metal container big enough for it to fit into and a gallon of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) from Lowes. It would dissolve that Lucite in no time flat.

BUT if not Lucite. Actually I think there was a post some time ago about all the things coins were used for and that was there too. I thought a moderator would have by now found and referenced that one. Lots of interesting things there. |

It would be cool just to be able to say that I'm sitting on my silver throne!

-Here's coins that you'd want to have cleaned. Often. With Ajax even.
-Even though you want them cleaned, you still don't want them whizzed.
-Does the lucite count as a "slab?"
-Some people keep their change in a jar, some keep it in a can. I've never heard of it kept ON the can.
-It's a good way to spend some quality time with your coins on a daily basis.
-I like it, but I have to say it does strike me as a bit cheeky.
-If you buy it you could say "I've got a crap load of coins."
-But really if you buy it you're just pissing your money away.
Imagine if your house got broken into and you had to say make a claim on your insurance--
Insurance agent: "what did they steal?"
You: "my coin collection and toilet seat."
Insurance Agent: "Coins and a toilet seat? That's an odd combination"
You: I thought so too, but when I saw it I just had to have it"
Insurance agent: "....?"
