  It's gone.

  I suspect the seller intended to have an auction, beginning at $.99. When he/she noted the error, they withdrew it.

  Really? No one has stated the obvious yet? (Hint: Fake.)

  Thank everyone - there were so many completed auctions ending for less than the silver value I was just curious as to what was going on. No real coin experience. Obviously, will buy from known and high feedback eBay sellers.

  They are priced at “under melt” only if the value of base metal has risen dramatically.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  Just garbage.... If you want them for golf markers or target practice, then buy them... they are not coins. Cheers, RickO
