lonewolf83 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 11:49 pm Was just curious to know if barber series is a good coice for investing in junk silver. They have a hefty premium, thoug in ag they are very worn so ther re melt value has decreased some. Would a dealer pay you more than the melt value for them since they are sold for more than melt value? Report this Post to the Staff

The metal just gets moved around and pushed into the coin not worn off. Barbers could be a nice investment. They only get older, but then again, who knows if anyone will want barbers in the future. They do command a small premium above spot, but I don't think dealers will pay more than spot. Also, they do get expensive in higher grades. Report this Post to the Staff

I would guess that a dealer would only pay spot for them based on face value and not the actual coin weight. You would be able to do better than that though selling to a collector.

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 1:16 pm I've seen dealers weigh junk 90% silver when buying. Good percentage of weight loss, especially in U.S. Quarters and dimes. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
