DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 6:51 pm SF/LD From the pics appears to be VF Melt value is correct, but if silver continues its backslide the numismatic value may exceed melt value. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Vancouver IslandCoinKid Forum Kid Canada 1074 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 8:45 pm did I hear that right? numismatic value over melt wow, ya lets get an expert in here besides DBM. I thought no to the answer but I guess it is possible, I mean would they come in sets? Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5404 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 8:56 pm DBM is absolutely correct. What you do not understand VICD is that when silver is very high some coins are worth more melted than as a collectors item ie. at $35.00 an ounce a 1958 BU dollar melts at $21.00 and should go in the melt pot. On the other hand at $15.00 silver the same coin melts at $9.00 and would probably still sell at the same 20- 21 dollar level. This is what is known as a semi numismatic coin. There are many examples of this scenario. On an other topic I will tell you this DBM is a wonderful contributor to this forum and is also very, very knowledgeable in the area of numismatics. I personally know him and we have had dealings over the years. In a word yes he is an expert and knows of what he writes. Report this Post to the Staff
