Misterpostman Valued Member Australia 208 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 9:28 pm I used to like uncirculated '64 Kennedys and Washington quarters a lot, now they are just "OK" to me. Now I don't want anything less than Walking Liberty halves VF+, or Franklins AU +, or 1948-49, or Mercury dimes VF+ Or any Barber Coin G+. Sometimes a few Peace or 1921 Morgan dollar Being so particular, I sometimes buy very little from a large bin to choose from. Report this Post to the Staff

bekiz Pillar of the Community Japan 666 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 11:01 pm I like those low premium coins when silver was high ... since it dropped below 30 I've sold everything and have no intention of buying them, even if silver goes to $30 again Report this Post to the Staff
mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 05:09 am Honestly, I went from proof and bu silver to now loving circulated crusty looking silver! Just the thought that the coin could have been used to buy something is neat to me. Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 05:24 am As a stacker, I collected a lot of '64 Kennedy halves, for I have found they have the least amount of wear of all 90% circulated coinage. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
rastatodd Valued Member United States 487 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 01:58 am I am a prospector of metal first and foremost. I gather the heavily worn, dirty and the bent. But the price that I purchase must reflect the condition being sold. To me, silver is silver. Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 05:09 am When silver approaches $50, that's when it makes a difference. Twice in my lifetime, during silver's ups and downs, have I seen dealers weigh 90% US coinage before buying. That's why I buy as crisp as I can get.

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 08:10 am I've also steered away from "junky" coins in my collection. They don't look good and there are others I'd rather have today. I started off with 64 Kennedys and now I wouldn't want another one. Report this Post to the Staff
