With Silver Prices So High, Is This A Good Time To Fill Some Holes?

I agree that trading in your "esteemed collection of silver coins" may bring more value than selling or "getting rid of" your "junk silver"

To be clear... When I am spending money, I am very picky. But if I am trading junk silver, I can be less picky since the seller is willing to take the junk silver. I can then look at the acquired coin and say, "She may not be what I wanted to buy, but I was able to get her way cheaper because I traded some silver I found 30 years ago!"

Very nice!

Maybe as the population shrinks from Morgan dollars being melted.

That is exactly what I'm doing and why I'm back on this board.

My wife is a put your pocket change in a album collector.

I was buying cheap silver coins from auction when it dropped from 40+ to 20. She was able to fill 90% of her older silver dimes and quarters from that. Plus I bought her book 1 Walkers almost full. And had enough Walkers to fill most of book 2.

But yeah, the key date were hard to justify.

Also bought some gold and silver jewelry. Took in a .925 bracelet and 14k ring to my coin shop. Started with just the jewelry. Had the coins in a box where he could see them. Including my 5 oz ATB.

He said he could give me more on the jewelry if he could get the coins to. I have sold $1 commems and he always dings me for them not being collectable. This time, he gave me $5 more per coin than I guessed. Almost melt.

He used to have dozens of 5 oz ATBs. I didn't see one. So it is a sellers market.

Last night I picked up three key date walkers. And a 32 D Wash. it seams like the key date prices are about the same. Even silver.
