Walt you are probably right. I have someone who will give me a little more. Silver last week was close to 14.00 so I used 13.50 as an average. By the time the auction closes it could be up again. Who knows. Also there are 3 of the strikes that could be returned to the casino for face value of 10.00. If they do not sell off to the smelter they go. Just thought I would give someone a chance. I know a lot of strikes are going to the smelter from dealers sending them in to the big dealers who deal in gold and silver. Thanks again for your imput. Ted
