Hey all.... I was just killing some time looking at some coins on ebay and came across this. [eBayItem]120708341119[/eBayItem] is a 1945-2005 victory token. Is this a ridiculous asking price or did I get a really good deal when I purchased mine for under 10 bucks including shipping? |

What the composition of the coin? I don't see it listed in the description.
The $14 shipping is a bit high too.

The token is made of bronze and is about the size of a silver dollar. I also just saw that this seller is asking 170 dollars for the 1908-1998 silver one cent coin from the 90th anniversary coin set. Leads me to believe they are fishing for suckers.

colonial acres is selling this token as well as the nickle ( which is worth a nickle) both in a nice case for $13.99.

Oops, your right Dialog. I didn't notice the specs on the nickle I was paying more attention to the Medallion. Thanks ( I'm glad I picked one up). Either way I guess my point was that $13.99 is a far cry from $124.00.

For sure.
And at 5.35 g for the 5c, there is 0.158 ozt silver, or over $6 worth. So, over 40% of the price is given back to you in silver.
If silver ever hits some of the crazy predictions, things like this are going to get a lot harder to find.
