Recently bought this one:)

cant find any other marks at all, but thank you that looks like it so might be able to track a maker down for it, luckily it only weighs about 20grams so not a massive loss if it isn't silver but i think it probably is.

I have just double checked and its 686 AR for sure, But the strange thing is there is no marks for purity , no 925 stamp or nothing thats the only stamp on it.

Can anyone identify this mark? I have tried google but im not really getting anywhere, this is on a chain.

So i picked up this coin yesterday, I have no peace dollars and i bought it for 3.50 so thankfully i wont be getting burnt on this, Looking online I see 1928 from the philadelphia mint are rare, too me the 8 does not look quite right, what do you think? To a trained eye it may be instantly...

Im not holding off buying, though to be fair my definition of big is peanuts to some here.

Thanks silverpete i thought it was pretty damn cool too! certainly not something you see often, It was in one of those little shops where you never know what's going to come in!

A paperweight clock, not my kind of thing usually but i noticed the AWE and atomic symbol (Atomic Weapons Establishment) cant find out anything about it whatsoever, maybe given to staff? Bought it as a curiosity for the grand sum of 2 lol.

Thats quite a price! Like you say no takers yet though. Regretfully there is no coin shops around here at all! Definitely a gap in the market for one, theres plenty of gold buying shops though:rolleyes:

If you can get it at spot price then yes get it! It's less volatile to price drops in my experience.

Maybe look into "junk" silver coins I'm UK based and here anything before 1947 is 50% silver and before 1920 is 92.5% silver I'm not sure about over there but could be worth a look, It's a great way to get fractional silver perfect for possible barter situations at a fair price.

I have just bought 20x 2006 britannias still sealed in there mint wrapping, these coins already fetch a very high premium often finishing over 40 each and many of those are not still sealed. Im just wondering if it might be worth having these sent of to pcgs to have graded? IF they came back...

I stumbled upon this and it seemed great condition and the number had a lot of zeros in it.. Not very scientific i know lol, price was 25 i haggled and got it for 20. I know nothing of notes I'm a silver guy mainly, but i am not against a gamble now and then. What do you guys make of this? its...

Thanks mmissinglink, still cant find out a thing about them so maybe they did have 500 mintage:| quite unusual, absolutely massive in size but extremely thin.

Does anyone know anything about these? they are 1 ounce .999 fine silver coins in a presentation box from Westminster. $10 fiji. This was a last min buy for 62. Quite a bit above spot but only 495 of these sets were made. What I'm interested in is does anyone know how many of the coins were...
