e bay bargain

[craig12]

surely its not my luck to grab silver at spot +6% but its looking that way , just grabbed an unusual piece I'm not familiar with   5 oz silver fort mc henry coin  was on at £110 buy it now  inc postage ,  grabbed it for £65 delivered  they sell at apmex and all the American dealers  , will need to test it for being silver but pretty pleased with that  I haven't paid £13 per ounce for around 3 years     ive seen a reference to the figure 30,000 mintage but that might be a particular year  the one ive won is 2013

It’s almost certain to be genuine, nobody is going to go the trouble of faking the ATB’s.

The mintage is 30,000. Not the lowest, but by no means the highest.

oh well that was a let down , item came no more than 25 mm wide  no idea what happened there , this was some sort of tiny version of the coin  needless to say I got my money back , and bought a 10 oz twin towers bar  for £145 delivered  

[Shinus73]

You got the actual quarter dollar, not the 5 oz version!

Thar happened to me once, but the seller realised the mistake before posting.

[craig12]

I didn't mind but why list it as a 5 oz     digital photography is so deceiving

[Shinus73]

It’s hard to tell with these, as the 5 oz is marked on the rim.

The seller probably just didn’t know what he had.

Lol, I managed to pick up one years set of 5 silver atb quarters that had been graded for under £30 including postage from the US but never bothered trying to obtain the other years or buy the 5 ounce ones even when they were selling for around £85.

received the bar its stunning as far as I can research it could be a 2002
