Got off of eCRATER. I purchased the following:
All Australia .925 sterling silver
6 - Three Pence coins
2 - Six Pence coins
2 - Shilling coins
2 - Florin coins
A total ASW of - 1.4246
Paid $45.80 including a $6.00 shipping charge (could not gang the two parcels, wasn't happy about the shipping charge)
Any opinions?
Do people collect their silver in the form of dark side coinage? Edited by rastatodd

RastaTodd, I know some around here go for British and Canadian silver. I do Mexican personally.

Harrison2, I think we have done some business in Mexican silver awhile back. Very happy with my 1947 Cinco Peso and my Panamanian VN Balboa. But I'm a still upset that I wasn't able to snap up the many UN Pesos you had for sale.  All part of the hunt. |

Silver is silver, I don't care where it comes from I'll collect it as long as I can trust the source.

I have about dollar value $3,000 silver from Canada, Germany and UK. So yes I am in because there are pretty good deals out there for them.

I'm into US silver but there are plenty that are into darkside silver. I think darkside silver might be a great thing to do as you can stack and enjoy looking at the diversity!

Knowing other countries' coinage puts you at a better advantage when you're looking around for a deal on the shiny stuff. Sometimes I get some cool finds in the junk bins, poor misunderstood coins that get the toss by their temporary custodians. I give 'em a good home.

Been on Numismaster so much looking up ASW of coins. I have to give those junk bins a try at the next coin show.

I have dozens of Canadian/world silver coins I bought for below melt value. I picked up a (cleaned) 1966 Australian 80% silver 50-cent piece out of a US$1 bargain bin a few years back. (.3416 ASW, by the way) Also got a BU 1937 Aus. Crown (.8407 ASW) for US$20 when its melt value alone was around US$25! Edited by DNA
