That is so beautiful!

Weird. Don't know if I want to be carrying those around. I want one for a saver though.

It costs $339.95. Now way I'd carry it around.

It's a collection piece.

$340!!! Holy shit man, for that money you should get the coin and $290.

It's pure silver. It's worth more than $50 in metal alone.

I have a bunch of silver and gold coins, mainly because they'll never be worth less than the face value of the coin, but always worth the metal they are made of. A $100 gold coin I bought of the '76 Olympics for example, cost $125 then, but is worth more than $1500 just as metal alone.

And they are really stunning to look at.

3 ounces at $15.67 an ounce. That coin is worth less than $50 in metal alone.

Yup, you're right. I was looking at Palladium, which is $50.20. (per gram, not ounce).

Still, it'll always be worth face value, and more to a collector.
