They were in a binder stuffed in the rafter of my garage. Lots of other boxes up there I havent gone through yet either (though I think its all Christmas decorations).

Ebay? Local coin seller?

I looked up a few on ebay and it looks like they go for 65-100 bucks each. I just hate ebay.


Found a gold 1863 Gettysburg coin with Abraham Lincoln on it too. Cant find anything on the web about it. Does anyone know of any decent coin sites on the web I can send pics to, to get a value?

Have you paid attention to nothing on ACF?

You buy a gun with a few of them, and store the rest to eat when nothing Ron Paul wants to do happens.

Why would you trade something with intrinsic value for worthless FIAT currency?

I already have a gun. Should I just put them in the freezer to save for later then?

Local coin seller -- putting silver up on ebay is a method to end up with all kinds of trouble -- plus it often ends up with ebay putting a hold percentage on you.

Think of yourself as a Dragon. Make sure your hoard of gold and silver and other shiny things is where you can always watch it. If you can sleep on your shiny trinkets that is best.

Hold onto them 'till after the election. If Ubama gets reelected, the price on them will sky rocket.

FIAT currency losing spending value is a fact.

Actually when you are in a depression, fiat currency goes up in value.
