bullion round 50 cent pieces

[stevo1962]

I'm thinking that the buyers may not be silver investors but perhaps novice collectors filling the gaps in their collections or parents / relatives making up starter sets for their kin. There's not many places where you can buy a single 1966 50c round apart from a bricks & motar dealer or ebay, so if you're like me and out in the sticks then the only place would be ebay.
 

  There are also a lot selling on Facebook.I have seen plenty of coins sell for around the $20 mark that 
   wouldnt grade unc

am i missing something ,  worn circulated round 50 cent pieces are roughly 1/3 of an ounce of silver , which at around $22 an ounce makes them worth a maximum of $7.50 each , then why would dumb ebay buyers pat around $10 to $ 12 each for them , am i missing something or are the buyers morons for paying nearly 50 % above spot price

Yep you're definitely missing something

Watch out for packaged versions of this coin that certain dealers create and then advertise for over $30 per coin in unprestine condition

it has been done before and no doubt will happen again
