"Silver" coins on Ebay

Postby AGgressive Metal » Thu Jul 26, 2012 9:41 am

Listing in the Ebay world silver bullion section and I can't see a single coin that is actually silver. I sent a question whether he just meant silver colored, haha. Take a look :?

I wrote asking what the silver percentages are for each coin. His lame response:

Yes, asked if no of them were silver and I said I didn't see any that were and that I was merely curious. He replied again just to say thanks. So I give benefit of the doubt that he doesn't know better because I looked at some of his recent sales and they were not coin-related. I didn't report it or anything - like I said, at first glance it seems like a case of ignorance not malice.

Thanks for the 'heads up'. I think that coins on eBay need to be really carefully considered before purchasing. Like you said, some folks honestly have no idea what they are selling. And others.... hmmmm :)

At the beginning of my silver stacking adventure, I collected all that was foreign silver. Because of the low premiums. The one site that helped me a great deal to verify if the coins I was buying had a true silver content was Numismaster.com. It was a great help. One must DYODD when it come to buying all that is foreign AG. :D

I'm pretty sure this can be attributed to GW Bush.

Not attributed to him. He isn't intelligent enough to use so many multi-syllabic words. i think you meant it applies to him :)
