If you read through his feedback, it looks like he loads it up on War Nickels

at today's prices he is marketing $171 worth of silver at over $100 above melt. He is first taking advantage of the fact that most people probably don't understand the difference between avoirdupois and troy ounce systems... so people just multiply 8 times current melt and arrive at his buy-it-now price. They also fail to factor in that coin wt has nothing to do with silver content, as the coins listed are both 90% and 35% content. Another seller giving a bad name to vendors of silver, and leaving a bad taste in the mouth of the buyers. Of course, no doubt, our usual twosome of forum members will rush to his defense and claim that there is nothing wrong with this listing, it's not unethical, yada, yada, yada. Hey... we should elect them to Congress... they'd fit right in! :lol: :oops: :D

True and even if they know, they often forget.
