Yes, the silver eagles are just 1 ounce of silver. The 69 and 69 Kennedy half dollar are 40% silver. The Other half dollars are 90% silver. THe Buffalo nickel is just a nickel. Worth about a dollar Awesome finds! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? |

The Silver eagles are minted by the US Mint, they do have some collector value as well as being Silver. I guess they would be the US equivalent of a Silver Maple from Canada.

@SSK I added some links to the package I think I got a half decent deal for everything for $110 CDN.
What do you think ?

According to google converter, $110 in Canadian money is worth approx $88 in US.
For that, yeah, you did pretty good.

I knew it was going to be confusing but I could not post everything in one post ,so I had to separate the package to its own proper forum and link to them.
I ended up with some nice stuff to look at and throw it into the pile , someone will be happy when I am gone.
Thanks

Very nice pickup! $88 USD is right around spot. I wish I could find anything like that at flea markets here. If they have silver coins that aren't copies, they're usually double that!

Nice purchases.  I miss this one flea market we used to have. No shortage of coins, with some deals to be had. That was a lot time ago though. |

I think you made a fair deal.
I was just adding up what it would cost through the coin shop I help at
and it would have been $88.20 USD

That is why I love flea markets. You really did OK there. I just don't know why Canada can't change to our money system. Would make things so much easier.  |
