Found Some Interested Silver On Ebay....whatta Ya Think?

Well unfortunately the listing was removed so I have no idea.


Actually presidential medals aren't worth any more then most others. Mainly people are looking at the metal content over anything else.

I'd love to see a picture of that.


Is that a guess?


I'd love to see the book he is using.


That he knows of.


Sounds Legit.

I found this on a different listing of his.


Seems legit.
---------------------------

Ok so there are a Lot of red flags here with the most important one being this is an amatuer that is promissing something he can;t verify. More then likely the coin is Pewter and not silver. Very rarily will you find a silver coind with that deep style of relief.

Best of luck to you but I'd pass. There's a Lot of other silver coins on the interwebs.

Welcome to the forum

Hello GO :)

Well I'm sorry to hear that you don't trust me as a seller. It is unfortunate, for both you and myself. It really is a shame when you lose a customer over having little knowledge on a product

Anyway, I uploaded a picture of the coin for you on the ebay listing proving it is .999 PURE silver.

And I apologize for knowing little about the coin. I have not seen any grace Ebays sight in some time now. I've been looking to unload the coin for a long time, but really did not know what to say in the description. As you can see, it is an old coin. I myself was not anywhere near alive in the 60s, and was given the coin by my grandfather.

My grandfather was a master coin collector, and passed on to me about 100 ounces of silver. I'm looking to sell a little now.

So I would first like to thank you for uncovering the details about this medallion, as I was very interested in finding them out. It helps me out knowing more about the item, especially the exact weight.

Secondly, I would like to say EVERYTHING I list in my ebay listings are true.

I only sell genuine, .999 silver. I am honest at heart. No mills or plated crap.

I took a shot at the weight by knowing the weight of a kennedy coin, and comparing the two sizes.

So while I do appreciate your effort to uncover the truth of the coin, it saddens me that you automatically write off someone as a scammer.

And because of that, you could have had a great buy. I am now going to change it to .8 troy ounces. You could have gotten it for the price of half an ounce.

But I will say...if it were me looking at the coin in a buyers shoes, Ill admit, Id have some red flags.

Its just hard posting an accurate description when you have missing pieces of the puzzle.

Rbethell11,

My apologies. Maybe I should have taken down by initial posting

Thank you for understand my viewpoint. I tried to make it as simple as possible without it turning into a seller bashing post.


That's why we are here. With the combined knowledge of this community we can find any information on any coin ever made. You are more then welcome to ask for help if it can in turn help you sell your piece on ebay just a little easier.

FYI I did a Google search for "Truman silver medal" and then checked the images tab. I found a corresponding picture and found that description on another sellers page.

Interesting coin, where did you find it?

My grandfather was a huge coin collector - and he just gave it to me. In some money troubles right now I'm selling maybe 5% of his stuff.

I have to admit its really cool. I myself am a big fan of historical memorabilia, but not so much bullion.

I'd rather it be in the hands of someone who really appreciates it.

All credit goes to GO...lol

My first listing was a train wreck - any knowledgable buyer would have been a very happy camper after bidding

I listed it as approximately .4 ounces of silver - when it reality its twice that, and stated it was modern, when in reality it was made in the 60s - LOL

Thank god for GO - he saved me from letting a great piece go for about half - 3/4 of what its truly worth
