Post a coin that reflects ( corresponds with) the spot price of silver ((or gold) today.

TwoSides2aCoin

Here for example is an 1881 Gold Liberty Half Eagle graded by PCGS.



Spot price of silver is currently $18.81, so to start it off:









Simply pick a coin to post which reflects the current spot price of silver.



We may stay between $ 17.92 and $20.16 (silver prices) for a while, thus giving us a chance to post several different dates of U.S. Coins along the way. (for the silver and gold bugs who are bored on the boards )



This thread might serve as a gauge for volatility or at least entertain collectors, throughout the coming weeks or months.

Here is one I once owned that at 1849 is in the suggested range:






And here is one I still own at one increment higher, an 1850 Double Liberty "Proof"/"Trial Piece" First Strike that was once in the personal collection of its designer James Longacre:

And thank you. I was using PCGS Home Page, initially, but this is easier.

Perhaps so. And it's doubly troubling getting shut out at the mint for the Silver Liberty, I was clamoring for. "Grin and bear it", they said.





But boy, am I ever thankful for you guys. Sweet pieces , like Reese's

I probably need to chill out on the posts on this thread. I just enjoy sharing my collection with others...pictorially.

Some nice coins and great photos. Thanks for including.

I think I speak for more than just myself here as one of those of us who do not post pics, that there really is never too much coinporn.

Thankfully the market is closed. If we ended the week at 1862, lets see some.

And that's an interesting mint mark on that Half, Jim (thisnamztaken)

Yes, a "broken S", older NGC-40 holder. I have seen it on a couple other SL Halves, but don't know if it is considered a well known variety or not?

Nice coins mvs7 and Brian!

I am trying to secure a 1861-O Half, but they are awfully proud of it.
