Got lucky on the Bay...

bought two silver dollar commemoratives for 13.50 each. The dollar commemoratives are the same size, weight and silver content as the Morgan/Peace dollars.

It was a BIN auction for $35 for a pair of Olympic Dollars and I used my $15 dollar groupon to knock it down to $20. Free shipping so my total investment is 13.50 each shipped. (20 + 7 for groupon) :)

Nice snag. I don't care how un-numismatic some of those commems are, the silver rings just as nice!
