I snagged some silver under spot at the local dealer

I got 5 90% dimes for $2 each, 5 standing libs for $5 each, a walker for$11 and a '22 peace for $27


Edit: I also got some british silver i really dont know if thats a deal or not, but i got a 1941 2 shilling and a 1942 six pence.

Any help with the british silver would be appreciated

Thanks!

-6 Pence. KM#852, 2.8276g, .50 silver, .0455 ASW, 19.5mm. Ruler George VI. Obverse: Head left. Reverse: crowned monogram divides date.

Get yourself a Krause coin book (used or new), which is helpful for the foreign stuff.

and....

Welcome to the madness. :)

Yep. That's where I got mine from. :)

RMH: Check the Want to Trade/Sell section of the forum and look for PennyPauper's Krause Book post. He will exchange for some silver too.
