looks like you had to change tags when they changed our drivers license?

I had to change twice when living at the same place but my address changed. Then I decided to use my driver license # and by golly they changed that too!!!!
But my tags are only a small percentage of that pile....

I am guessing my ex brother in law will offer around $2 pound.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I was offered $4.40 a pound as #2 grade.
I did bring some extra poundage and was able to negotiate.
Settled on 4.75 for the #2
So, $47.50 for the 10 lbs. of tags... stinkypete was right on...

Good for you DiggerDale. Metal prices are pretty wild currently. I sell as quickly as possible. This is not going to last forever. Get all you can. When you can

I’d probably start minting some collector coins with my face on one side and “Stay Off My Lawn “ on the other other…
