Coconutjoe Pillar of the Community United States 1475 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 12:37 am Point well made. I just want to say that no one in right mind would purchase 10% silver content coins to be melted. Even 30%, 40%, 50%, or 72%. However, we can not discount the fact that these coins do hold precious metal, on top of collectors' value. I will take Mexico 10% silver peso over clad anyday Report this Post to the Staff
mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 01:15 am Price them low enough and someone will buy it. I myself dont want them at all....silver dollars and 90% are much more preferable and easier to sell Report this Post to the Staff
Silverbullet68 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 06/20/2017 06:53 am I like this discussion on 40% silver. I do a lot of coin roll hunting so I have a lot of 40% halves. I understand the higher refining costs means less of a return vs spot but what about as a hedge against higher silver prices? Basically what I am getting at is will the return vs spot get better if their is higher demand for silver? Can I buy low now and sell high during a silver run up? Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 06/20/2017 7:26 pm @Silverbullet68 There's no refining cost with 40%, they just change hands. What I mean is, it's just not worth the refining costs...even the Hunt bros avoided 40% silver. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Edited by fistfulladirt 06/21/2017 05:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 06/20/2017 8:04 pm My LCS had a bunch of 40% Kennedy's they were trying to sell for $2.00 each. It still took them forever as no one wanted them even "below spot". Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 06/21/2017 05:46 am Several years ago, I listed 3 rolls of 40% on Craigslist. This was during $30 silver. They sat for over a month with only one inquiry. I sold for 70% of spot. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

everything Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 10:50 pm I have about ten rolls of these, I wouldn't think of selling them unless silver went way up in value, also most all of them I found in rolls, or were given to me by someone who found them too. They say preppers like them, it's definitely fractional silver with about double the silver of a dime. Report this Post to the Staff
