Fractional Silver- What do you think they are worth?

Postby Copper Catcher » Fri Sep 16, 2011 3:47 pm

A long, long time ago I got sixteen (16) 5 gram rounds. I have been collecting coins since the early 70s and I have never seen these before or know who exactly made them.

What do you think these are worth each?

The round says: Dawn of Liberty on one side and 5 grams. On the other side it has the date i.e. 1979 and the words: Metric Silver Piece 5 Grams .999 Pure Silver

They are the size of a penny...

I would say 10 bucks a piece but you might be able to get more selling them as rare to bullion collectors on e-bay.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

I'd give you $10 each on the rounds and $15 on the JM bar :D

Nope, I haven't seen them before. I did find that APMEX has a listing for a 25 gram gold version, but they don't seem to know who made them either.
