In fact, they will be my next purchase. I will get several tubes of quarters and dimes. They will fill in a nice niche area on the lower end of what I already have. Right now, I have a bunch of 5-oz silver bars, a bunch of ASEs, half a bunch of Maples, a tube of 90% dimes and 3 tubes of 90% halves. This will give me some pretty good flexibility on how it can be spent in bad times and making change will be easy. Report this Post to the Staff

angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 11/16/2011 7:44 pm I believe all have the large mint mark. I wasn't aware any of the silver nickels had no mark Report this Post to the Staff

angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 12:28 pm I found 1 or 2 per $100 of nickels. Also was lucky to find some plastic display holders with 4 War Nickels in each for $7 each. Report this Post to the Staff
mariospaghetti Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 3:01 pm My local silver/gold buying store has small seperate containers of dimes, quarters, halves and dollars which one can go through and pick out what they want to buy. Now they were a little high on the price per dollar silver but I did come up with a few barber mint marked halves that I have never owned. I agree when it comes time to needing a little extra cash one can sell part of the items off at a time. Unlike a 100 oz silver bar or even a 5-10 oz bar unless your sitting on a good number of bars. When I was a young adult some many years ago, I would go to the local coin/bullion store and purchase 5 oz bars like candy, that was back in the late to mid 80's. It was something cool that I owned that others didn't have. I sold them off a long time ago. Report this Post to the Staff
