    does any one have any idea on these. I have a few and got them on e-bay. they where listed as 37 grams .999 silver and without researching I got them and then found out theres only .60% silver ? . talked to the guy and he said he had a few hundred of them and would sell them to me for 30.00 each which isn't gonna happen but what would u offer ? any info would be great. Thanks in advance, tried to post a picture but can't but they are on e-bay. Dirk

    Right now my LCS has 2 buckets full for 16 bucks a pop, the center piece is .999 silver ( Outer ring is usually gold plated brass ) ...and though they vary in weight ...the average weight of the .999 center is 6/10's of an oz.

    You can pop out the center easily, just support the brass outer ring ...and tap out the center with a hammer and wooden dowel.

    I dont buy them for their silver content, I just buy a few unique ones to hang on to.

    My last 2 I purchased....

    I collected casino chips for a while. Ended up with a decent Australian collection, and an ok collection of $1 vegas chips. Wouldn't mind converting them to silver now though.
