The coin shop in my area doesn't have junk silver boxes to sift through. They told me to tell them a quantity of what I wanted and they would bag it up for me.

Not around here, I got my 1925 (which is in almost the exact same shape as yours) for about $9.
About the same at all the coin shows too. Actually even at a local flea market they run close to that. |

We went through a similar silver melt in the early 80's when the Hunt brothers drove the price from $11.00 to $50.00. Man, a lot of coins disappeared.

You can get Barbers, SLQs & Washingtons in my area at or below melt in similar condition to yours... Last weekend my guy had 25 common Barber dimes in similar condidtion for 1.75 a pop. I even told my guy that was less than 25 dollars a toz and he said he didn't care, he was making money at 1.75 and it is all about turning over inventory. That particular inventory got turned over into my safe. |

It's a shame SLQ's are trading at melt, they've always been one of my favorite coins, especially the reverse.

Sold $10.00 face of no date SLQ's today for $197.00 I thought that was pretty good.

Depending on location yes. Were I used to live the store owner would have tupperware containers full of slqs, Barber halves, quarters, etc just for a tad bit over melt. You weren't going to find a key date or a AU condition coin but it was nice going through and picking things out. Now, I moved to another state and the stores here have all standing libs in 2x2s and are asking RedBook prices!! |

These are good time to search bags of 90 percent silver coins for additions to your colections. Back in the late 70's I was allowed to search cashed in bags of coins and I retrieved a 1921 d, and 1921 Mercury dime, both in xf condition for melt price then. I still have them in my book. |
