Award for most unique item currently for sale (no offense at all).

I would REALLY like 4-5 of these. I'm sure you don't have many of these left and are hesitant to sell at the prices you posted. But, I am willing to deal I'm also in the US.

These things are quality! Awesome design, awesome minting.

In that case, item not for sale. Just kidding, its SOLD.
You are obviously knowledgeable on these. Any online references you know of? I never got too much into ancient coins because it seemed like there was so [too] much to learn.

PMd

@Andrew: a bit, imagine it almost 1800 years ago!
Anyways, how can some one not appreciate this thing? Think of all the hands that exchanged it, etc. over 1800 years ago.

Hey everybody,
I have a few 925 silver rings. They're all in good shaped (a bit tarnished) and are a curvy kind of design. Each is marked 925. You could probably sell these on eBay as not scrap. But if you're just looking for scrap 925 silver, here you go! Asking below spot@ . Price includes trackable shipping inside US. International, add .01BTC for shipping (via USPS First Class Intl - not trackable; any other shipping method wouldn't make sense). Any questions-ask.

Thanks!

Fair enough. I only have 1 other ancient coin and definitely don't consider myself to be an expert on them. Literally any reference to silver content came from a video on Chris Duane's channel.
I'm not going to argue with you about their value during Roman times, but typically coins that weren't worth much don't become popular collector's pieces.
And, as far as their value goes today (which is all that really matters), I will refer you to eBay or any other site selling this Denarius or any Denarius from ANY time period.
If you only wanted to buy this coin for its silver content, I'll throw in a pre-'65 dime for you.

The first design is awesome. Is the magnetic strip going to actually serve any function? I suppose you could write the address on it but that would be rather redundant. I wish card writers weren't so expensive...that'd be a great place to put the private key.

I am interested in getting one of these for sure. I'll keep a look out.

Good work!

Hey everybody,

I'm putting some of my coins up for sale. I have another thread where I've posted more contemporary, US Silver pieces-which people said they would be most interested in as far as rare/collectible coins go.

I think anyone can appreciate this one, though. If you watch Chris Duane's (insert remark here) videos, he mentions in one of them that silver has had a prominent place in history since the height of the Roman Empire. He refers to the Denarius specifically. The "Denarius" is a type of coin - like a dime is. Throughout Rome's reign, hundreds of Denarius coins were minted, with the ruler of the time, their wife, one dressed in battle garb, etc. There are a lot of different Denarius coins. Also like a dime, this coin (as well as all Denarius coins) contains a specific amount of silver, which is a hair greater than that of a pre-'65 dime. In the video, Duane remarks how it is truly incredible that Rome was able to pay their soldiers one Denarius a day when, in today's world, a huge part of the world lives, per day, on less money than the value of the silver in a Denarius coin. Rome truly was an incredible [Republic] Empire.

Anyways, this Denarius specifically is known as "Geta". There are several variations of the Geta Denarius. This Denarius is the same exact one that I'm offering here:
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roman-Empire-Geta-AR-Denarius-Rome-Mint-A-D-200-202-/141027259490?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20d5e13462>
The back of the coin is different, but the reverse of Denarius coins varied so much that it can be hard to find a single match.  The obverse of a Denarius was stamped higher-up the ladder of the Empire. The reverse was deemed less important, so striking it was left to people like Generals, even lower military personnel, etc. So, reverse on a Denarius is not deemed particularly important-value depends essentially solely on the obverse (front) of the coin. There are entire text books dedicated to trying to catalogue all Deniarus obverse/reverse strikes.

Anyways, the coin at the link provided is in slightly better condition than mine. The border is near-complete, while parts of mine are missing. I probably don't have to say this, but do your own research. It is important to note specific characteristics of the strike. For example, the fact that the word "Geta" is on the left side of the coin...there are variations of it on the opposite side. Also, consider strike detail...I wish I had a camera to take better pictures, but the strike detail of my coin is better than it appears in the picture-it is very near the level of the coin in the link provided (notice the clarity of the hair curls, the facial features, etc). You'll see that the price I'm asking for this is more than reasonable. I'm asking . If you're interested, PM me-I'm a bit flexible.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Who the FUCK are you? Either you're a serious troll or a scammer back on a new account cause that happened more than a year ago. Anyways, I have wasted too much time explaining that. The guy was unwilling to send me a scan of the receipt of the assay he supposedly had done. Not to mention, I sent him more silver than the original sale stipulated. The fact that it was "backyard silver" makes the argument of "purity over quantity" completely invalid. If you want to find out more, go digging, it shouldn't be hard to find.

And you get the fuck out.

Just to show you that I'm simply here to inform, I tried to make the first donation to your site. I don't know how much luck you're going to have if to make a donation someone has to create an account/wallet with whatever platform you're using. Is bitaddress.org too complicated or something?

good idea!

As everybody buys silver, Silver Eagles are awesome (but the money goes to the government instead of a real business run by US citizens).

OPM, Ohio Precious Metals (which I'm sure most people have heard of by now) is my current favorite US mint. They make silver rounds in bars in a variety of sizes, and often they are the ones you can buy for the lowest premium over spot. Generic does not mean low-quality. As a matter of fact, OPM guarantees some (if not all) of their silver to be .9995 pure. That last 5 isn't something to shrug off!

Also, they use recycled industrial silver to make most of their products. So, another reason to support them!

Hey monbux, just stopping by to learn you what a real fail is.

I bought one of those old fashioned glass piggy banks off eBay and painstakingly stuffed it with this stuff. I have an awesome piece on my desk at work now though. People have noticed it and said something even.

Your trolling attempt is a fail for a few reasons:

1. You may be, but I'm not too stupid to do preliminary research to make sure I'm paying a fair price for any item.
2. I checked eBay to see what a fair price for 1/2oz would be
3. I added a premium because my shreds include confiscated, high-denomination, old, and pieces from a variety of mints.
And also because I am selling this for bitcoins by the 1/2oz. If you really want 5 pounds of this stuff for $45 (don't think the US Treasury site accepts Bitcoins) (plus shipping which the Treasury Department loves to tack on), then congratulations, you found a better deal.
4. I mentioned in the body of the original post that the guy buys his shreds from a variety of mints...did I say you have to have any kind of "clearance" or anything to do so?

And here's proof that you just like to play troll:


Please describe one way in which I have wronged you, ripped you off, or otherwise done something malicious to you? Anyone else who has personal experience with me, feel free to speak up. There's a reason that I've been here for a while and people still trust me to do deals all the time. So, nice try, but please leave my post alone.
Any person who is/was interested in buying this from me is just as capable at doing a Google search as you are (believe it or not), and I have obviously not tried to hide any information from anyone, so really your post was 100% redundant.

Seriously! ; )

I found a guy in my area on Craigslist selling this stuff by the pound. You should have seen how much he had! I had never heard of being able to buy Federal Reserve destroyed notes. But you can! I asked the guy how much money I had (I bought a pound). He said that on average you can count on $1,000/oz. So I had $16,000!
He also said its tough to tell, though. He buys from Federal Reserve branches all over the country. Some bags are high-denomination bills, old bills, even confiscated bills! He said he throws it all in the pot to make it more interesting.

Obviously you have to look closer, but I found a strip with "100" clearly on it. Also, I found some with dye...like from a dye pack. Confiscated money? I looked it up, could be-the color matches.

Anyways, I'll offer this at /half oz mailed anywhere in the USA
The bag pictured contains one half oz.

Think of all the stuff you can do with this...I have an idea in mind ; )

Not to be a troll here, but plated flatware is worth next to nothing. For example, at a thrift store I go to they have regular flatware (Stainless Steel) for 25 cents a piece, 50 cents a piece for silver plated. This quote: "Therefore, the resale value of silver plate is not based on silver content." is from this article:

http://www.examiner.com/article/what-s-the-value-of-my-silver-plate-flatware

I'm in the US. If I want one of these things it will cost me more than $11...kind of a lot.
