    With shipping, that's 11X face. Decent deal.

    Yeah. I'm happy with it. I'll just throw it in my Safety Deposit Box with my other silver. Of course, I'll take a peek for any good dates and I'll look for varieties as well image

    At least he doesn't use the same scan for his 100 coin Barber lot sales..., however, don't expect any key coins..he auctioned them off on earlier auctions.

  • I usually just wind up selling my junk barber quarters for melt. The only pieces I seem to be able to get a worth-while premium on is the halves.

    From a silver standpoint, you did fine. If you ever take the time to put the coins in little individual holders, price them individually, and put them in a junk box then you might make 50% over what you paid.

  • I am curious about how much silver was worn off this batch.
    Any chance of weighing them and reporting back?

    I don't have a scale, sorry. But I heard that even though a coin might look worn, most of the weight is still there....

    We did a thread about this in the past.

    It's about 7%-10% metal loss. People still pay the normal amount over face for them though, so it doesn;t matter much unless your actually the one melting them down. image
