Not necessarily, due to ebay fees these lots do tend to go for much more than melt value.

Currently going for 140% of spot price. Hmmmm. I still think it is the wording in the auction title.
I have some Ebay bucks to redeem. Maybe prices go up at the near end of the bucks' redemption period because many don't care if they overspend the spot value big-time just as long as they use the bucks?

Yeah, it does still seem high though, based on other completed listings.

Title was misleading... however, the winning price per coin was $4.68 each. As of the moment, they're valued at $4.67 on coinflation.

The auction was up over $100 when JerrySpringer made this post. Some people must have canceled their bids after realizing.

Did you notice that in the Detailed Item Info (located above the description) the auction was listed as 1964 Kennedy half dollars with a 90% silver content. That should have been flagged.
