Just traded 9 Unc 2007 American Eagles for 15 AU Maria Theresa silver Thalers and $5. So that's over 11 ounces of AG plus $5 that I got for 9 ounces of AG. Both sides left happy.
As the old White Sox announcers used to say: "You can put it on the booooaarrrdd, YES!!!"

For some unknown reason when I was a kid we got WGN on our cable package in West Virginia despite the fact that we were hundreds of miles closer to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. I frequently watched Cubs and White Sox after school in the spring and summer during the 90s. "Good guys wear black!"

when it comes time to sell, verification of the purity of the thalers might be more of a problem than the eagles would have been. By the time silver shoots up in value the Chinese may have started counterfeiting those too but other than that, nice trade
