    Cool!

    @ Elite CNC Routing & Woodworks on Facebook. Check out my work.
    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

    Yeah, I was going to say that. It sort of looks brushed, with dark stuff in the recesses. I've seen pewter look like that.

    But it also has a whitish luster that is an indication of real silver.

    Jeez. I want a 7 ounce lump of silver! Cool; where do you get it?

    That's pretty hefty.

    Time to take all of your silver and start making some 100 ounce bars. image

    These pop up on ebay from time to time.

    You missed an opportunity for a complete set, including the bronze versions.

    Here is another one from that set:image

    It brought $8625. How much of that do you suppose the coins brought?

    Is the weight and composition marked on the edge somewhere?

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    The composition (.999) is marked, along with the serial number. The weights are not indicated.

    Complete sets, with matched serial numbers are scarce.

    The description on that set says "copper and pewter" not bronze and silver. Is that set different or is the description wrong?

    I was wondering if anyone else would notice that. They were produced in bronze and silver.
