Yes I put that in my first post, next to the descriptions I mentioned that they are 1/2 oz and 90% silver.

"For the 1942-1945 half dollars (1/2 Oz 90% silver) SOLD"

The weights are accurate, I looked up what they are supposed to be, and I also weighed them themselves. And yes I am willing to use Escrow.

Thanks, I appreciate the bump and the interest. A few of my friends and I pooled some of our things together to sell for bitcoins, and one of my friends mentioned that he had two shoe boxes full of silver coins, so we got him to part with a few for BTC.

@SaltySpitoon - Big Silver fan myself, and just want to comment that its refreshing to see such offers on here as this, especially from those with room for haggling on price & for those with bitcoins to burn, this type of trade is a spectacular deal.  Would be making offers if I had any bitcoins to sell, sorry all I can do at the moment is look!  Wink

I'm going to have to pass, I can lower the 6 coins to 3 BTC each ($15 each) because I had thought silver prices were a little bit higher, but I can't do better than that.

thats exactly what I thought when I brought some nice looking canadian junk into the coin shops, but they offer me the same for a battered one.

Like I said, flawless = more. if not, then its silver value.

My prices are just set at what the coin sites say they are worth, mixed with what I see them going for on Ebay, I am open to offers though. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, so I just go by what I see. Do keep in mind, all of these coins are 75-110 years old, so yes they should have some collectors value.

Honestly people really care about the silver more than the collector value.

I would buy all your silver, as I admire US junk silver but your prices are much too high, about 2x spot +

the only people nowadays who pay for numismatic value are fools, unless your coins are in the MS range

Now I'm not gonna say this is 100% correct, but this + ebay has shown that I'm pricing conservatively.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100724182937AAK7H6d

I'm pricing them at $28 lower than slightly worn which is about where I would classify these coins. I did mention that they are missing the proof marks, which makes them from the Rare Philadelphia mint

And here is one selling on Ebay of the same condition with the same mint location

I know there is a bit of collector value on some of those coins.... but I don't know about THAT much.

Everything clarified I believe. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AA5-50C5-35W4-12BE6-12BA6-12AV6-radio-vacuum-tubes-set-/251035763131?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3a72e5c1bb#ht_500wt_1287 if you check here, for $10, these are the majority of the tubes needed to replace the old tubes. Besides the 35W4, that is pretty much the set needed to repair the radio.

The radio case is in great shape, there is one scratch on the top right of it about 1 inch long, you can see the extent of the scratch in the image, but besides that, I can't find any other damage. The Radio worked up until a few days ago but isn't working right now, but that is because it needs replacement tubes, its routine maintenance and has to be done from time to time (Replacement tubes run around $10 on ebay). The sound quality is pretty clear, if there is any buzz, that just means the electrolytic caps are probably dried out, which is another one of those maintenance things, and can be replaced easily/cheaply enough.

Tell me a bit more about the radio.  What is the condition of the case?  Does it work?  Is the sound clear or does it have a buzz to it?
