Dennis who is to say there was 1000 minted ?
just because it is stamped limited 1000
does not mean the full set was made ?
look at some of the strikes like dusty draw for 1
also if this was mass produced why has there not been
lots of sets sold on e-bay like strikes ? think about that!
as for the content of the metal like i said these LOOK like
silver .. if you have a old silver coin and take a nickel
and tap the side you get a HIGH pitched ringing sound this
has the same .. many coins are made not stamped silver
so your guess is as good as mine ... i will take $75.00 for the set
1st e-mail gets them.
