With all the talk about fractionals no longer being made, I pulled the trigger on these at lunch today.
I'll call these US coins for the purpose of this thread image

  • I went to a local pawn shop last week
    Had some 1 oz silver rounds

    He wanted what amounted to spot + 100%

    He probably paid half of spot so has a nice markup of 400% on silver bullion

    Just freaking amazing!!!

    I also got this for $15.

    Can anyone tell me if this sort of thing brings a premium on 2 centers? I just don't know.

    Pretty neat. Gold is fun anyway you slice it.

    That 2 center is almost 180 degrees off.......cool. Don't know about the premium though, I'd think so.

    Is that spot + $10/$5 or spot + 10%?


    Nice pickups!

    It was $10 and $5. Silver bars and rounds are spot +10 cents and Silver Eagles were still $17.95 each. On the down side, they had the silver eagles loose and don't handle them properly. 1996 Eagles were $32 in 2x2's.

    Pretty good for a pawn store IMO.
  • From what I've seen it seems a lot of the 2 Centers suffered from rotated dies. Just like the Type 1 Buffs.

    A small motto 1864 is what you want to look for...

    so if a 1/10th eagle is spot + $5, does that (spot + 5)/10 or (spot/10) + 5 ?


    Edit for those not familar with algebraic order of operations:

    If spot is 940, then is the price $99 because 940/10 = 94 + 5 dollars equals $99?

    Or is it

    Spot is 940 and the price is $94.50 because 940+5 = 945, and 945/10 - $94.50
