Unless Ceasar’s image is on these coins, they are fakes. I have that on high authority... :)
“Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied.

That’s a lot of “whole life” stories.

There was.
Environmentalists savaged it, fairly razing it to the ground.
A short while later, an enterprising developer came along, and now it’s a teeming Vancouver suburb known as Minivancouver.

This is all well and good, but Apmex is selling Baby Yoda coins on Monday. Way more important ;)

It hasn’t. Silver is a commodity and fluctuates as does any commodity.

By the time it was sacked by the Huns in the 5th c AD, the city was older than most people in the US are living in.
[snip] The city of Augsburg was founded in 15 BC on the orders of Emperor Augustus. Emperor Augustus conducted extensive military campaigns and established administrative settlements. The settlement that became Augsburg was known as Augusta Vindelicorum, meaning “the Augustan city of the Vindelici”. The settlement was established at the convergence of the Alpine rivers Lech and Wertach. In 120 AD Augsburg became the administrative capital of the Roman province Raetia. Augsburg was sacked by the Huns in the 5th century AD, by Charlemagne in the 8th century, and by Welf I, Duke of Bavaria in the 11th century. [/snip]

You just showed two one ounce silver coins - one from USA and one from Canada. The USA one is 34x face value and the Canadian one is 6x face value.
Why the disparity? Why would an ounce of silver have such a different value just because of where it was minted?

The US 1oz coin has a marked face value of 1 dollar.
The Canadian 1oz coin has a marked face value of 5 dollars Canadian.
The Canadian also has a lower premium above spot than the US coin.
