Hi all, Sorry for the continuing posts but the Christmas Eve Bonanza continues.. I am now buying more than I really feel comfortable.. but my instinct tells me to... and it is FUN. My main 'we buy gold' contact offered me this huge amount on Christmas and he is OK with me buying slowly... all Morgan/Peace and halves at a touch above melt. Here is a dateless half that I got along with a couple of 1917s. Upon further inspection I see it to be a 1916. Could you confirm and the grade. Hoping not 'details' given the finish. comments appreciated.    |

I'd be in the AG-03 camp, too. Other than simple circulation I don't see anything that would give it 'details'.

Do these "we buy gold" places melt coins?

yeah.. the couple I go to do... they melt everything if not sold within a week or so..
I wont allow that to happen for the Big dollars (or at least that my justification! to myself)
He also has a ton of Liberty Halves, including these that I rescued...
and also currently many Roosevelt, which I am OK to let go

Good details. I manage to get a ton of coins for melt and bullion for melt since I have a good relationship with my local precious metals people.. I always buy halves, quarters, and dimes....they sell peace and morgans for a premium and I will only buy it if its unc. and not cleaned....which is rare.

I honestly don't get why there isn't a law in act to stop people from melting these coins. They are carelessly destroying history just for profit. It's disgusting.

I don't care if they are melting down rosie's, washington's, kennedies, franklin's, or 30's & 40's Mercury dimes, yet alone Peace dollars that aren't anything special. Just as long as they aren't barbers, seateds, early Mercury dimes, key/semi key dates mixed in that they aren't sorting it out for. |

I also do not like when people melt coins, but they are their coins and they can do whatever they want with them. In a way it makes me sad because the coins are being destroyed, yet in a way I do not care because it is the others' decision to make.
As for this coin, I grade it AG-3.

 I look at this way; If they want to keep melting silver coins ,that's fine with me. In the not so distant future common date circ. silver coins will be hard to locate. making supply and demand real tight. and I as of many members will be rejoicing seeing the values of our circ. silver sets increase . P.S. this is just my views, like to hear other views on this.  |
