Hi Archie,

The link you provided shows a scan of the coin, but nothing about that actual auction.

....take one of these to a coin dealer to sell to it, you'd be lucky to get spot. Most likely, your best offer would be melt, 80% of spot. ....like I'm telling you anything you didn't already know! <G>

When I was buying silver bullion in the early 80's, it pretty much didn't matter what was on the coin or bar as far as graphics were concerned. I was paying 120% to 125% over spot when spot was in the $5.50-$8 range. I sold it right back to the same dealers when spot was $15-$20. .....should have held on a little longer, but I thought it was peaking then.
