Description: 1970 United Nations 25th Anniversary Medal .925 Sterling Silver. This round weighs 14.2 grams. Silver content is 13.135 grams. Free Shipping I have a few of these silver items priced only for the silver content + ebay commissions. Therefore, buyers have better value just collecting grams & troy ounces than buying collectibles at high premiums if the intent is to hold silver as a safe haven asset. *NOTE: On Price disparency (discrepancies) of the same item by different sellers, if they exist. One may see the same silver medal listed for a much higher price, as condition playing little justification. There are current listings that vary at multiples of some ask prices. This is because of two divergent pricing camps...camps of thought. The low ball sellers are selling according to the actual content of silver plus the small standard market premium on precious metal over spot price of the metal. These sellers, like myself, see no honesty in charging double, triple, quadruple premiums simply because of the images stamped or cast on or into the metal. Images serve the same purpose as does ink on currency. These so called collectibles are not rare, few are, it's simply a hobby market that allows elite sellers to sell grams of silver for windfall margins, multiples of its actual intrinsic value (weight & purity). The buyers, holders of these collectibles must capture the same high premiums, or more, if ever liquidated or they fail spectacularly as an investment. It is usually much more difficult to sell items you have than in difficulty of purchase, especially at increased prices....yard sales ring a bell here. Yes, the highly marketed Thomas Kincade Gallery prints are now available in garage sales. You can equate it to a paper currency bill. A one dollar bill is the same weight and size of a 20 dollar bill. Why is the twenty 20x exercised as having 20x the value? There is no intrinsic value in used paper unless it does have authentic rarity or historical significance or the records on it must be preserved. Otherwise it is used to start the fire. Only because we are told it has more value by the configuration of its inked numerals. Ink has no intrinsic value other how it speaks and the quality of what is spoken. The cut paper supply fed to the presses is the same until it is inked. So the premium of value is placed on the diverse configurations of ink speaking to us. Therefore, essentially, GRAVEL pebbles could be color coded red, blue, yellow, black, or magenta with diverse exchange values. This ponzi system works until it doesn't (Ponzi: being that currency MUST keep appearing at greater and greater amounts at the front end to sustain every thing dependent on its back end). Currently the FED issues "cut papers" valued at one trillion dollars every 100 days. This is essentially thousands of gravel trucks unloading 6 billion pile$ daily. More pebbles in circulation bidding on any item drives price up, as does any auction. This is the most major cause of inflation, cloning dollars endlessly. Prices of items rise when values are increased. However, in our case here, a hammer and a loaf of bread still offers the same value of service they have done for a millennia. So it is the falling purchasing power of the dollar by Federal Reserve policy, therefore more dollars are needed to do what they used to do. The value of precious metal is how much weight you own and the purity of the that weight. So one camp is exchanging as few dollars as possible for as much weight and purity of metal as possible, irregardless of the "said" image on it. When the metal melts for all other needed purposes, utilizing its versatile intrinsic value, the past images and any attached values to that image is puffed off as smoke and/or steam into the air. Because there is so much coded gravel dumped it will be so abundant as to have NO VALUE and free for the taking to use for all driveways. We are set up for quite a colorful play out. This is why precious metal is sold by weight and marked purity, so that the actual intrinsic values are known to the buyer. The metal is the key purchase to one thought camp. Others rather value the image and the metal is only the messenger. This all said, exchanging colored gravel for anything of actual intrinsic value these days is surely a gift.
