Come on up for a stay. Can't beat the exchange rate.

Great steal of a deal.

From Wikipedia - The bullion value of the Olympic coins;
The $10 denomination coins have a gross weight of 48.600 grams
while the $5 denomination coins have a gross weight of 24.300 grams.
Each coin is 92.5% silver for a net silver weight of 44.955 grams
(1.4453 troy ounces) and 22.478 grams (0.7227 troy ounces) of silver
respectively.

So you got ~3.6 oz of silver in those 3 Olympic coins, nice.

The rest is gravy.

Even at yard sales, people seem to think their "old coins" are more valuable than their first born child !
So finding a "deal" is hard to do bro...good job on the pile ! --
