I think that's why they raised the value of the one pounder from $200 to $300, to cover the cost of them. I am pretty certain that NO ONE would collect $300s if they were base metal with a thin layer of silver on them. I think even the long-time collectors know and love the ONE POUND of silver. I think if the HSP strikes survive, it will be strictly because of the $300s.
