It might be a good idea to include spot price in our posts for future references.  Sounds like a good idea.

Finally found a LCS near me that sells junk silver 90% at $11xface, which is the best I can find.
But due to finding this just yesterday, I have to wait till January to buy. I can wait.

13 or 14 X face OK for me as well, but that HAS to be in Australian dollars. ($1 Australian will buy me $0.72 U.S.)
That means AU$1.35 or less for a U.S. dime.
You won't find bulk 90% dimes in Australian dealers' junk boxes, but you can be lucky enough to find single 90% Roosies or lowball Mercs for an AUDollar each.
That's U.S. $7.2 X face.
Small wonder that my junk silver stash grows so slowly, but neverless, it DOES in fact grow.
Actually I buy all World silver on the cheap if I can, as a side issue. I am really on the lookout for World coins (junk silver included) in the higher price junk bins. generally

Regular junk silver is still holding firm at 12x face where I am (with silver at roughly $13.85/ ounce). However, selection and overall availability at my two local coin stores is almost nil. The inventory of one remains at the same extremely low level it was two weeks ago; there are just $10 or $15 face in the bin, split between cull Mercury dimes, assorted Roosevelt dimes, mixed Washington quarters, and a few polished 1964 Kennedy halves. At the other, the "story" is much the same. I picked up $5 face in 90% silver half-dollars (1 1963 Franklin Half-Dollar, and 9 1964 Kennnedy Half-Dollars) there the other day, but that pretty much wiped them out of anything even remotely interesting. Otherwise, they had a few Roosevelt dimes and Washington quarters. At a local flea market I visit on a weekly basis, I have fairly regular access to a better selection of junk silver at 14x face. However, with a 40% premium tacked on, I usually just stick with Walking Liberty Half-Dollars and "dated" Standing Liberty quarters (in large part because they're quite difficult to find where I am). As far as anything else goes--Mercury Dimes, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, Franklin Half-Dollars, and Kennedy Half-Dollars--I can't see overpaying by that much for it. For some odd reason, 40% silver half-dollars are commanding a larger premium than 90% silver right now, at least where I am. Both local stores I visited this week were asking $2.50 apiece for them (a roughly 25% premium over their current silver value). Edited by Earendil

1/9/2016: Silver at 13.93 Went to my favorite local coin shop today. They didn't have much junk silver, only worn Washington quarters & Mercury dimes, but the price was good. 11.5x face, the cheapest I've seen it offered in my area. Needless to say I got some. Edited by Joe2007
