    Hope everybody's weekend going good so far. I did a little research I can't find a date on these. They do have an RM punched where the date is supposed to be on one of the coins the other one I can't see. But I think they're silver. It says 999 silver on the reverse. I believe there the silver rounds. But the ones I seen online they say 1 oz of silver. These ones say 999 I don't know let me know what you guys know thank you

    It is a .999% silver round, and not a circulated coin. The melt cost of silver right now (4-29-24) for an American Eagle, which is close at 31.1g, is $27.38, but most won't pay you top asking price, so I wouldn't expect to get that much. Take it to your local coin store or jeweler and see what they say.

    I'll be a cynic.

    It was made to look like a US bullion coin, but it's not

    It says .999 fine. 1 troy oz would be 31 grams. It's under weight at 30 grams

    .999 fine refers to what? The silver plating over the base metal?

    That's certainly possible, but I think it's more likely that the scale is off by a fraction of a gram. It only reads to the nearest gram, so it's not really useful for checking coin weights.

    If I had the round, I'd consider nicking the edge to make sure it's not just silver-plated. There are a lot of those floating around. (And they never seem to go away, no matter how many times you flush...)

    50 bucks for an oz of silver? You just wasn’t thinking that day. Be more careful

    2 coins but yes u are correct. I was looking at the damage coins. I didn't know if there was a market for those types of coins or whatever they're called. Bullion.
