    Picked these up at a local pawn shop. Pawn shops are hit or miss. Paid $150 per roll so I took them all. Nice Washington quarters. Very few worn ones, no slicks.

    Illinois Sesquicentennial Medal, 1968. 4 oz of .999. I seldom buy stuff on a whim, but I was stuck in East Alton for half a day and I found this at a local shop. I liked the design & high relief.

    Anyone a fan of spongebob? We bought the right to melt these. I think it was 3500 or 4000 of them we had to bust from mint capsules, dump in bags and ship off the to be melted. They all came in FBI/DEA evidence bags.

    Felt bad at first but then realized it was just modern cr@p.

    Jinx, those look like official mint product. Canadian? Australian? Strange days indeed.

    Somebody went to all the time, expense, and effort to mint and market those squares of silver (obviously at significant premium) and then it all gets sold at melt and.. Melted! Only to be reformed into some other novelty silver "product" for retail consumption, and the cycle continues,
    That's the PM business in a nutshell.

    My son would love them! image

    It is an issue from Niue. I remember when it was released a couple of years ago.
    Too bad you didn't get the treasure chest! LOL

    Looks like a good justification for better marketing research.

    We had a court order to melt them. Licensing was bad or company went default or combination of the two.

    Couple of 1/4 AGE for my children's sets and a slick classic head half eagle. Thinking of using it a pocket piece...
