Ok Anons, I've been wanting to get one of these for a while but just recently snagged one in stock:
Golden Eagle Coin's grab bag Sterling Silver 10oz lot.
Overall weight is 10oz, so ASW should be 9.25oz.
It cost me $258 for reference.
My overall weight was 10.046 ozt.
Overall there are some pros and cons.
Cons:
2x 90% Panamanian coins fell in the lot. These are desirable coins as-is so I'll let it slide.
A moderate amount of maimed silver. Scratches, bends, and a couple had holes. That said, it's mostly the 3p, Canadian 5c and 10c that had these problems. Clearly they're using these grab bags as a means to get rid of them at a better profit point than refining them.
There is such a large amount of Canadian 5 and 10c. This is a personal thing, but I don't care much for them, I'll likely piecemeal them out on reddit or ebay.
Pros:
FOUR crowns. I'm impressed. 3/4 are cleaned, but at $27.84/oz, I can't complain. I expected one or maybe two.
A lot of Victorian stuff, much more than I was expecting. I was expecting mostly Australian George VI sterling.
Some of these older coins have solid details and may get thrown in my albums.
Overall, I'd say I'm quite satisfied with the grab-bag and would do it again.
