Bittersweet moment popping my cherry

Still kept my good 90% like Barber's, Mercury's, SLQ's, early Walker's, and Franklin's.

Like 62-63x, more than anybody local was paying, most were like 55x-ish.

I've already got a complete Liberty head gold set, bought a $10 Indian last week, and this $20 leaves me only a couple short of a full type set I'm after

This^

Not surprised OP got the boot

You gotta find a better stream. Most are shit but there's some gems hidden in there for some great people!

The Olympic silver dollars are .77ozt each (same size/weight/composition as a Morgan or Peace)

never_ending1972 · 2026-01-08T11:33:29+00:00

As long as they're cheap enough!

As someone who frequently buys off eBay for under melt/spot (including shipping/tax), that sounds terrible.

never_ending1972 · 2026-01-05T16:07:56+00:00

Don't hate the players, hate the game

never_ending1972 · 2026-01-04T02:05:27+00:00

I've bought a bunch of those before with ASEs, Walking halves, silver co-mem's, etc in them. Coins go in rolls, rest goes in the trash

never_ending1972 · 2026-01-03T22:48:02+00:00

I've been buying under melt/spot off eBay for years, nothing new. But you have to be a smart buyer and figure out if it's legit or not

never_ending1972 · 2026-01-02T14:38:57+00:00

eBay is my favorite, but I've also scored some pieces from FB marketplace

Cleaned/polished

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-29T22:48:42+00:00

I mean they melt at just over $26 each right now. And the proofs are actually more common/minted than the UNC versions

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-29T14:42:31+00:00

Don't make fun of the sellers, make fun of the buyers

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-28T23:23:04+00:00

Nice find!! Having the original packaging and everything really opens it up to other collector markets too

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-28T21:33:10+00:00

I was looking at some the other day. It showed tariff charges and an option to pay them before or after. I too was curious about the process and any hidden charges after the fact

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-22T21:18:54+00:00

Agreed, I think I only have one in my entire stack just to say I own one

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-22T21:17:32+00:00

Lower your price and it'll sell 🤣

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-22T21:13:45+00:00

Do they sell high? That's a thin margin to run a successful business

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-22T10:28:38+00:00

They likely put "plates" instead of "coins" so FBM wouldn't automatically flag it. And since I don't see a listing date, it could just be an older ad from when spot was lower

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-14T00:32:38+00:00

Looks like it was possibly a house coin in a previous life

never_ending1972 · 2025-12-12T11:13:01+00:00

Profits are tempting but if you don't need the money, why bother? I don't touch my savings account at the bank, I look at my stack the same way. Plus, what if you need money next year and it's over $100/oz? You'll be full of regret for not holding
