Not even close.

If he can scale a sheer wall,  he could.  And he did.   

Thanks to @DR.X and everyone who contributed time or prizes for this fine thread.  It was great. 

Ugh. I think my guess is way too low. 

I cross converted ounces and cubic inches.  

My guess:

$997.40

What if some of the coins are decoys? 

Like this tin plated penny I just made.

If it ain't completely broke yet, keep fixin' it!  

I tried to add a smiley to your post, but the new format wouldn't let me. 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it...  

I've got to get a low grade copy of that issue.

One of my favorite covers.  The pic isn't mine. While I do have a CGC Tales To Astonish 49 , it would have taken me too long to dig it out. I think mine is a 7.5. 

I just realized that I started collecting comics one month after this comic appeared.

Will silver foil tarnish?

From Google, describing silver...

"It does not react with oxygen in the air under normal circumstances. It does react slowly with sulfur compounds in the air, however. The product of this reaction is silver sulfide (Ag ₂ S), a black compound. The tarnish that develops over time on silverware and other silver-plated objects is silver sulfide."

I wonder if the silver foil is coated to prevent this?

Also, silver nitrate is photosensitive, and darkens when exposed to light. 

They should have used gold foil.

What’s an ounce of silver worth?

$15.70 per troy ounce today. 

Don't forget to add the cost of slabbing.

I actually sent for those. I was severly disapointed when I took them to school the next day...

I ordered the "Be a ventriloquist! Throw your voice! " gizmo.  If I remember correctly, it consisted of a metal clip with a wide rubber band around it.  You were supposed to put it  in your mouth to generate speech.

My brothers opened the package and slobbered all over it before I got home.

Speaking of guns..... I live in Illinois where you have a 3 day on all handguns while the state does a background check on you and make sure yer not wacko. I've been waiting over 2 weeks due to the volume of sales. Crazy times.

Hasn't Ilinois heard of that newfangled device that can perform searches in microseconds? 

I love auctions. 

$20.

It's the kiss of death.

Good luck! Oh wait, no...I'm playing against you. I take it back.

Good luck, my friend.

I have ASM 1-441 (mostly low grade).  I know for certain that an ASM collector will win our round.

I can live with that. 

The suspense is killing me... 

Grades in.

I either did very well or I didn't.  I don't know.
