I don't use any right now but have found a place with fine gold so trying to get a sluice instead of panning alot. I won't be getting the buckabilly sluice as I talked to him I said I would be selling some silver to pay for it and he said he might be interested so his wife called me back and offers me $33.00 for five peace dollars and I would have to send the rest of the money in a check. He should have just told me to sell them and send the money as a coin shop is going to give me $25.00 a piece for them, so he lost out on a sell as I'll just get a keene sluice now. Thanks for the info

They probably looked at an outdated redbook price.

It would have to be pretty outdated for $33.00 for all five and he had his wife call be back, I think he was hoping I didn't have any ideal what they are going for. I can sell them at a coin shop for $25.00 each as they are in great shape, I just thought I would let him have them since I seen on his website that he detects. I'm just going to get the keene sluice now.
