Was it a Buffalo Head? It was probably pure silver too....Nice find..
Thanks, nice to start chatting with you all as well! Ahh, I can't remember now. It was a year or two ago, I found it in the yard and then looked it up on ebay and saw how much they were selling for. I think the main thing was the date and how old it was, it was pretty old but I don't remember how old (1800's I think)
Never happy with ebay's fees so I took it into the local shop, and they wanted to research so I left it with them thinking maybe I'd get more than I was asking. I tried to get $250, but we settled on an even $200. Some in perfect condition were selling on ebay around $400-500, but this one wasn't in the greatest condition, and those were going for 200-300, so I think I came out pretty good. Surprised me actually, I figured the smaller local shop would try to rob me blindly, but they didn't even try to low-ball me at all.
