100 ounces of silver for $500!

[Beachkid23]

I should probably go home. I don't think I'll find anything else good but maybe I will! Lady said shoot me an offer I didn't count them I just said $350? She goes no thank you but I will take 500! I said okay you got a deal added them up hundred ounces there sterling silver but there collectible and there's a whole bunch of them! I'm not even sure if they're only 1 ounce coins they might be bigger but I'm thinking they probably are 1 ounce. I will update this thread a little bit later when I get home and get take care some stuff I need to do. Also bought some 1800 silver coins as well for $20.

Here's a sneak a pic.



There are a lot more than that

 

[dw171]

wish I could find deals like that, are they Franklin Mint coins?

 

[Beachkid23]

No I don't think so has this mark on them great American triumphs

How do you know they are sterling and not pewter? This set was also issued in pewter.

Looking on ebay, sterling sets of 60 are going for around $1200.

 

[Beachkid23]

On the edge of them they are marked Sterling silver series 1972. I have found these in the past so I know to make make sure they are either marked Sterling or 925.

In that case, great score!

Those are Sterling I picked up some of those a few years ago. I have a friend that goes to garage sales nearly every week end like I do, and one time he bought a bag of coins for 20$ that had 22$ in clad and 300$ in silver. I don't remember if any of those were worth more then sterling or not. I do remember they were very detailed and deeply struck. Awesome Find!!!

Okay so there's two different sets here same maker but the first one is all from out West called heritage of the Golden West.











36 total there for at 1.3 oz.

This set has 61.3 ounce coins





















And then also was a handful of US silver Collins and some other foreign stuff.

One is pretty hard to read and it has a hole in it but it's dated 1781.







There is a super rough condition 1876 Carson City quarter there as well!

Now do we save them or do we sell them? Lol

1781 1 Reale minted in the Spanish colonies

 

[Beachkid23]

This one's pretty cool it is 1.5 ounces and has two diamonds in it.

 

[clorox]

Awesome pickup! Both sets of medals were made by Longines-Wittnauer, a Swiss watch company, in the early 1970's.

Nice score kid! The reale is old but common. Here is one that a member found with his detector- http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/288646-i-found-1781-spanish-real.html

Thanks. I figured it was common, The condition was so bad though I don't think it would've been worth much if it was not a common date. The quarter, 1856 seems to have the most value to it. It other one is a 1876 CC. That one is toasted...

What a score! Keep one thing to remember this score by, and sell everything else!

Yeah this is my problem when I come to something that I don't care for and I can make a lot of money on it I sell it but when it comes to something like this well I talked myself into why should keep it. And then say silver dropped to $10 an ounce instead of 15 then I'm sick to my stomach that I did not sell it. Or I tell myself why I deserve to keep it.

 

[tamrock]

Now that's how you make money on silver.

Makes up for all those other ounces of silver I paid 35 and $40 for! Lol.

I remember going and buying a lottery ticket when my dad came to visit me. I won $200 on that ticket and he turned to me and said son how are you going to invest your money. We drove down the road and I went to the coin store and bought 4 American Silver Eagles....

Good thing I won't be able to sell now for probably like 10 years ! I was so happy walking out of that store and showing him what I had bought. And today they're worth maybe $80? Poooooooh!

But I guess in the long run that's better than having spent it all at the bar!
