Just found 37 silver commemorative bars in the house we bought - wth do I do with them?
|
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.

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.

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

Not if the Fed says otherwise. Proof is in this recent recession.
You need a free market for that to take place.

Are they full 1 ounce bars? Then they are worth $33 or so right now.
There may be extra "commemorative" value if they are collectable.

No, they are commemorative 1 oz bars with various things on them like Happy Easter 1974, The Pilgrims Bounty, etc.
The old owner was a professor at Princeton U back in the day, developed dimentia and lived here until he died. His kid is the one who sold the house and probably didnt know there were there.

I disagree, its not like they're family photos or something, his kids intentionally left a bunch of crap for Krieg to clean out, and anything they left is now his by law.
I would recommend you have them independently appraised by a coin dealer.

Yeah no kidding, not a bad deal, leave all your old crap behind, someone else cleans it up and sorts through it and lets you know you have something of value there? HAH.

Id have to say yeah cause they ordered a dumpster a week before we moved in and cleaned everything out of the house/garage except for some trashy clothes/boxes/junk that they just left in some of the rooms.
