I just thought these were just too cool to pass up...

Cheers,

Something to toss you pocket change and keys into for the night, way cool!

I think you should swell with exonumic pride, the noncollectors you know will admire
them MUCH more than the coins they oughta be interested in, believe me.

I have been known to buy the odd-ball item every now and then...like the two sterling spoons from the Columbian Exposition, a Connecticut nutmeg pin, Pilgrim Tercentenary medals, etc...

Cheers,

that $10.00 a bowl they ain't that cute

Hey Mac...check your math...that's $23.25 per bowl (including shipping/ins) outside of Maine...ayuh!

BTW...Boon Island is my favorite lighthouse with Portland Head a close second.

Outhaul: I agree that those are cool, and you didn't have to pay a whole lot above silver melt value:

2.5 ozt x 4 bowls = 10 ozt x .925 Fine Sterling = 9.25 ozt x $7.70 Spot Silver = $71.23 Silver melt
$90.81 / $71.23 = 27% Premium Over Melt

Well Done !!

And I bet you are the first one on your block (and even on this forum) to have a set!!

Outhaul · March 23, 2004 9:32AM

Gee, Stuart...I never even stopped to do the numbers, but you're right...I feel MUCH better now...

And I won them with only six seconds to spare!

Cheers,

Bob

Isn't (or wasn't) this seller, eBay ID nugboy, a forum member? The name rings a bell.

Cheers,

Bob
