Question For Newbies Only

that value is subjective. which is more likely: several new potosi mountains will be discovered crashing the value of silver making the Mercury dimes worthless, a couple dozen unopened bankrolls of the ros dime being discovered crashing its value (which is very common since people horded that latter dimes), or the fiat system crashing causing the ros dime to become worth less than the group of merc's.

if I was going to hold onto both for 30 years before selling id go with the most valuable since itd be worth the gamble. but if it was a $60 coin vs a group of silver value coins a $30 for holding onto that long id take the silver all day. you just used an extreme example that no one would bother looking up unless coins were in hand.

infact heres a proof dime from 1959 full band: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-Roosev...em2c97851380
so I have no idea what your talking about

Well, this turned out rather condescending, didn't it?
