dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 4:48 pm Sometimes you buy an investment roll for intrinsic value and you wind up with a numismatic prize! Is this MS or just a really pretty AU? The luster is incredible and I cannot believe the silver broker had this in the roll... Report this Post to the Staff

ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1660 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 8:01 pm Nice dime. Are you saying it was in a roll of bullion value coins? Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 8:45 pm Arrows and Rays: it was in a bullion hoard purchase. If you go ebay you'll pay the right people who will give you 7.2928 OZt for 15% over spot. Inside however you'll easily pull numismatic value that takes your worth to 30% + over spot. In the long run, as long as spot climbs, you'll always wind up ahead. I have pulled multiple mercury(s) and my best stat is out of 145 Franklins/Kennedys/Walking Libs purchased in large hoards, I have 28 AU/BU/GEM that put me at 100% & up over their cost when these exact coins go daily on ebay. It's worth the buy. I net my investment cost well down as would you. There are very reputable "unsearched hoard" dealers out their that are true to their sales pitch every time I buy.
