Please tell me, when you ordered these coins, did you seek to receive coins, or silver? Maybe I'm way behind the times, but... at the time when I was fond of numismatics, if I wanted to buy silver, then I bought an ingot, and if I wanted to buy coins, I bought coins in perfect condition. In those days, coins with scuffs and any damage were poorly quoted, has something changed since then? I hope you don't get mad at me, I don't want my friend to be scammed in the future, of course, it would be nice if you bought these coins cheaper than dirt, lol. The coin, to which the eye of the medallion was welded, ceased to be a coin, and if, one day, you want to sell these coins, then you will sell them at the price of silver, but not as an exhibit of the numismatist's collection. In this case, the loss of funds is obvious.

As I say in the post I got em for pretty much spot price. In the past I have scored some even at below that :)

Then, great! It’s just that I don’t know what experience you have in numismatics, but I know well the cunning numismatist hucksters who are ready to sell a cart and a steam locomotive to those who are not very well versed in numismatics :) I try to be critical of postage stamps from my collection, I guess you saw that lol.
