This struck me as a good deal.
I asked a local vendor about junk silver today, and he said, "None in stock." However, he dircted me to a stash of Canadian Olympic commemorative sets, each containing 4 coins, (out of a series of 28 silver, and two gold coins) with each of the 4 coin sub-sets weighing roughly 4.32 oz of .925 silver. The sets have virtually no numismatic value, becuase so many sets were made (I heard 20 million sets from one source) but they are legal tender, with a 30 dollar CAD face value. That's two ten dollar coins and two fives, by the way.
I paid $65.00 for each four-coin set, which is around or below par for ebay today for these sets, but I really liked the fact that they have such a high face value as well.
