What do you guys think of these coins? What would you pay for one. 30 grams of 90% silver.

Nice looking coin, if you're into novelty. It has a little over $30 melt value. Might be hard to liquidate, if you have to do so in a hurry.

I would not pay over 30 bucks shipped. They have no premium to speak of. I had a few and sold them on e-bay when the price of silver was higher.
"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 picked one up for $8 two months ago. I kind of like it. I was just wondering if I should keep looking for deals on them.

I suppose you are right about the limited liquidity. That would prompt me to pay less for them.
