Default Silver...and paper? Old paper...

Bought a collection yesterday.....wow, some really old stuff. I haven't seen much continental currency, but there were 4 pieces in the collection. I was buying for the silver, but ended up with pennies, nickels, notes...a bunch of stuff.

This note was designed by Benjamin Franklin. Guys who have dug Fugio Cents will recognize it.

I bought out the whole collection for less than a thousand dollars. I'll end up keeping about 38 ounces of silver...for cheap if I do it right.
