Home Metal Detecting

Not metal detecting, but almost as fun, "melt silver" coins at stupid prices.

I went to my local coin shop and bought seven merc's, at melt price. Here's what I got: 1918 XF, 1919D XF/AU, 1923 AU, 1926 AU+, 1926 XF/AU, 1934 AU (FSB), 1935 AU (near FSB).

There are more coins there that I may buy and flip.

I also got a 1942D Mercury in MS65+ FSB with beautiful rainbow and moss green toning for $17 !!

You can't beat that with a stick.

    can't beat those mercs at melt!

    I got some silver Roosevelts a few months ago... blast white Unc with great luster, and slightly over melt with very few marks. Wondered if it's worth sending a couple in, but no idea about values. Probably cost more to slab than they'd be worth. Got any pics of your finds?

    I am going to try to get some pictures soon. There were two 1919S's in the pile in similar grade. I may snag those.

    I will try to get pictures this weekend.
