He also included plenty of war nickels to up the weight while keeping the silver content low. $314 melt for $430.

Hi all-

JMO, but I NEVER, EVER, EVER like it or trust people who just weigh (or CLAIM to weigh out their coins) and sell by that amount. It's totally sketchy and there's always an angle. Stock photos, it looks like, too. Big red flags.

I've never seen any coin dealer, coin show, or major online shop who sells silver by the POUND. WTF type of pound?! "Oh yeah, I can't count out $18 in silver coins, it's too hard, so I just weigh them" Baloney!!

It's either by troy ounces or Face Value. Anything else is T R O U B L E....

JMO, wags

Well, in his defense, he DID list the numbers of each type of coin in the auction (ie 8 90% halves, 12 quarters, etc.) for a total 0f $10.40 face plus a roll of war nickels, but yeah I'm with ya. Just for S & G, I made an offer of $320 and got an automatic decline.

If they are unsearched, how are they his choice? Just wondering about that.
