Definitely keep them all. They're all worth over melt.

It blows my mind when anyone talks about melting a coin. Why would anyone want to do that, even if it is beat. My vote is keep them.

Or sell them for melt to someone who will collect them. Many people would pay for those even if they're beat up

Collectors hoard... Investors melt... and bad investors melt when the price is at a 3 year low... or is it 5 years?

 Keep them, especially the 1943 and the Charlottetown one. I know I would buy some if I saw them. |

Always keep coins as they do get a premium over melt regardless of the condition

I would never think of having any silver coin 'melted'.
Everybody who posted ahead of me is right. Here is one reason why:
The term 'bullion value only' or 'actual silver value' is better than 'Melt' value.
If a coin is to be melted, it has to be one in a very large batch. The cost of shipping, assay and re refining of high silver alloy coins is not usually justified, anyway. To make it pay, you need commercial quantities of the order of hundreds of kilos. That task is in the realms of a commercial refiner or a Mint.
There are quite a few stashers of scrap silver coins in the CCF. I have a very small stash scrap silver coins myself. Perhaps one day, I may sell them for their Actual Silver Weight (ASW) value. They may even end their days with a silver refiner. If that happens, they will be a tiny proportion of a much larger commercial batch.
Nevertheless, I have no control over their fate after I sell them, if and when I do. I would prefer their continued existence in their present form.

Although I would never melt an attractive coin, I have many that are just so worn out that they are barely VG. When the silver market picks up again, they will be sold for ASW.
Yours are absolutely keepers!

How will turning your coins into puddles of metal help you out at all?
I take "melting" very literally.
