The late vocalist Celia Cruz was and still is an iconic presence throughout the entire realm of music for her inimitable style and sincerity. She was a successful artist and an evolved person who touched the lives of many millions around the world. We’re ordering a bag just to put them in circulation, a delightful surprise for anyone familiar with her music.

lol

Thanks Kaiser!
I’m going to try to get all 3 of the ’65-67 SMS Kennedy coins in DCAM(a goal)..1 down, two to go! They’re so shiny for a (technically)non-proof coin.

I’m glad it all worked out AK(the b/s part), except no coin–yet! Maybe later.
That coin will do that to you–it draws you in. It’s a bummer that it’s so expensive for the graded one, and the OGP coins are expensive too! Sometimes it’s tough to trust what you see online. The better the photos, the better the odds of a trouble free coin. Patience is the word of the day!

That’s true, but they returned it and don’t seem to have asked for their $6 back.

so, lets say silver stays at $27 / ounce
when the reverse proof silver dollars are released late this year will they also be at the higher price? (Thus anyone buying them is paying even more per ounce of silver)

Kaiser, I couldn’t agree with you more and thank you for your very kind words!!

Rick, I too will continue purchasing off ebay! I’ve used eBay to buy and sell, with well over 1100 transactions on eBay and I’ve had one bad experience. At least I didn’t lose any money, with protection from EBay, PayPal & your CC Company, there’s no way I’m going to stop. eBay has been easy to use and it’s been very good to me. There’s all kinds of scammers out there, I’ve caught a couple over the years as I try to scrutinize internet purchases, this last experience I knew NOT to purchase the coin, my gut told me not to but like I said previously, my heart, head and greed got the best of me. Never Again, lol!

No where near the approx. $200 value estimated in the article. That was a nice gesture the person did but didn’t return to the original owners a treasure. Often people who don’t know coins grossly overestimate their value. I’ve had to correct people to their disappointment. Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean it’s rare or very valuable. A silver dime is worth more than a dime but it isn’t worth a fortune because it’s silver. 😉

Kennedy Halves(5) $2.50 * $9.72 = $48.60
Washington Quarters(2) $.50 * $4.86 = $9.72
Peace Dollars(3) $3.00 * $20.78 = $62.34
Assuming the 2 Quarters are 1964 or earlier, the 5 Kennedy Halves are 1964 and using a coin melt value calculator, I see $120.66 in silver melt value. I also noticed a Susan B.(bottom left). So at a minimum $121.66, is what I’m seeing. The 2 Quarters are on top of 2 more silver colored coins, in addition to an even smaller one(Jefferson Nickel?) at the bottom of the tin, below the 5 Kennedy”s, to the left, however those are unidentifiable and to me, appear smaller than a Walking or Kennedy Half dollar, so those coins weren’t tabulated.
