Letter Re: Junk Silver Bags–No Need to Inspect and Count 10,000 Silver Dimes
Hello Jim, I am hoping that you can verify something for me about the [U.S. circulated} 90% silver [coin] bags.

I’ve gotten both CRKT and Cold Steel items there at very deep discounts. They’ve had both Kasper and Steve Ryan folders and fixed blades on sale at less than half their sale pricing elsewhere, both CRKT produced versions of those gentlemens’ customs. The Ryan Plan B fixed and the Model 7 folders are knives to have. They’ve had both full-size and compact Pendleton Hunters from Cold-Steel – not just …
