Yeah but the tin isn't included in the sale. That's probably why the prices are so low.

If they are circulating coins, then they are cash.
We have the issue that virtually all the Royal Mint product is legal tender but the authorities argue it is not intended to be circulating currency.
If the US coins are circulating coinage and you could reasonably spend it in the shops then it sounds like it is cash to me. You are acting guilty. In my mind you have some loose change in your pockets.

i read a number of posts on blogs - Americans talking - it seems what happened is that Congress agreed to take the silver out of the new coinage. The silver coins were still on a par with the base metal coins. Naturally collectors, stackers started taking them out of circulation. It seems there were official attempts to pull them out until the 1970's - so now there are some silver coins floating around. Some will get discovered and some will get pulled b/c they are worn. However the silver coins are still circulating coins. Gold sovereigns are legal tender - but they haven't been circulating coinage for a long time. You would have an issue if you handed them over at Tesco. In the USA if you handed over a bunch of silver dimes at the local Taco Bell, they would be taken and put in the till.

I would have "thought" 🤪 they would have been taken out of circulation by now but you are probably right @sixgun
Go back to not acting guilty 😀

When was the pre-1965 coinage withdrawn from circulation?
i don't believe they ever were. They have been hoarded but never withdrawn. Do you have a reference to say they were withdrawn and therefore are no-longer circulating currency coins.

It was possible to get low £teens silver in recent years - i just dug out a sales invoice for 1 oz Somali Elephants from Silver-to-Go from September/October 2015 - it worked out at £12.60 an ounce.
That was in the days when you could get silver coins 'VAT free' and there was a special offer on these coins.
i got almost 57 ounces last weekend for $1300 on the Kinesis platform.

That's how I lost my job as a shelf-fitter.

Seems plausible

Looks like it's a London mark.
The year mark looks like it could be an l (1966) or an i (1964) - we don't get a good enough view, if it was cleaned up a bit it might be clearer.
The confusing thing is the circular hallmarks. They aren't circular for the 1960's and i don't see where they are circular for any years.
The MP looks like that of Maylin Products Ltd of Leighton Buzzard - they are recorded as active 1969 to 1979 - doesn't mean it wasn't active a bit earlier but can't find anything.

i think you are a bit of a closet conspiracy theorist Roy - that is why i love you so much.
By all means make some profit where you can.
The NSA thought up the idea in 1996 - they have the brain power, the knowledge and the computing to power to create BTC. Satoshi Nakamoto created it? It's some made up name shrouded in mystery. Create the system - put it out into the wild - test it out on the punters - milk it for dark projects - then close the exchanges, outlaw the coins and crash it at will when the Feds decide. Notice how China is pushing it away.

Will members please stick to the topic of the thread.

Just suggesting where this made up name might have come from.
As @silenceissilver suggests it doesn't matter at the moment if NSA made it up - if you can make some profit out of it, good luck to you but unless you are 100% certain be sure, it isn't going to take over the world and be sure they didn't do it as an academic exercise and they didn't do for the good of your health.

No just people that take an experimental drug (with zero history) & have not even bothered to look into it (my wife included). 
Whats worse - these people then recruited to start assisting in jabbing other peopled & go around making complete strangers feel guilty. 
Its none of thier business and there is something very sick underfoot going on. I can just feel the undertones of it. 

If thats not scary then I dont know what is? 

BTW I self inject monthly & love watching the needle go in & the pain.  
The bi monthly blood tests are even better - the nurses love me. 

Finally it doesn't matter if Bitcoin was created by the NSA or CIA because if it wasn't, it could as well have been. It has a public ledger and thus you can look into everyone's wallet, see how much they have, where they got it from and you can track the history of every single bitcoin. You could do the social credit system with bitcoin. It's very different with privacy coins like Monero and Pirate chain where you can't see all of this. There are more and more crypto currencies implementing some sort of privacy functions but mostly it's a joke. The whole crypto market is extremely immature - even declared joke coins shoot through to the moon. That doesn't mean all crypto is sh.t. There are 10K different coins and some will be useful - certainly privacy coins - once the social credit system kicks in and is combined with your bank account, people will start using it on a massive scale. As @sixgun has said, most or all first generation crypto currencies - and most of the newer ones - will go to zero, eventually, of course including Bitcoin. But some are here to stay, maybe some of the existing ones, maybe some that don't exist yet, who knows. There are very good use-cases (online payments) and therefore cryptos are here to stay.
The thought though that this could make gold worthless, is ridiculous.  Gold is here to stay, even much more.

The London Gold Pool existed to control price - primarily to keep it down. Nixon closed the gold window b/c other nations were swapping out dollars for gold and it was going to run out. They didn't want dollars. The COMEX gold futures contracts were created as a means of keeping Americans away from physical and in paper - the Wikileaks leaks show the cable. We remember Brown's bottom selling off the UK's gold to suppress price. Bullion banks time and time and time again breach position limits, spoof, dump contracts, are allowed to rehypothecate to infinity - and a blind eye is turned or there is legislation to enable it. We heard Rostin Benham of the CFTC this year in an interview openly admit the silver price having been 'tamped down' when price took off in the silver squeeze. The regulator should not be there to tamp the price down - but as we have seen it is. 
When the West is drained of gold - then the price will take off and China will decide what the price will be.
