Yeah, that's under spot for sure.

1 lbt. = 12 ozt.
12 ozt. x $15.58 = $186.96

Free shipping too? Snatch it up!

From the listing:

"2 Mixed halves Franklin walking Liberty or Kennedy 90%, 4 Washington quarters 90%, 23 Roosevelt/ Mercury dimes 90%, 63 Silver War nickels 1942- 1945 35%"

(At the current spot price of $15.58) that's $48.46 in 90% and $55.23 in war nickels = $103.69 in silver. That's also only 6.65 ozt of silver. Maybe there's 12ozt of COINS?

Definitely an intentionally misleading listing. If it sounds too good to be true... it probably is especially on eBay.

One of the best scam in CRH is " for $39.95 i will tell you the 5 magic words to get free silver from your bank"
I guess people still fall for that since I still see it advertised.
