would it be to buy the pure silver maple leafs (usually priced around 35 percent higher than spot silver) or to buy old (1919 and before) half dollars (in g/vg condition) ? I got a couple nice ones today for 5-7 dollars each and they each have about .4 ounes of silver in them. With their mintages so low they seem to be undervalued.

Morgan dollars in bad condition seem to be going up in price faster than most other silver coins.

grmike,

I have been consistently buying Walking Liberty halves and Kennedy half dollars at below melt.

My last purchase was 10 40% Kennedy half dollars for $19.90. Including shipping.

I had a coin dealer tell me yesterday that the melters will not pay melt price for silver coins due to the processing cost to separate the silver from the other metal. I have had luck on ebay getting circulated and uncirculated Canadian and Mexican coins for below melt. Just be sure to know the sliver weights in each coin and include shipping costs.

that doesn't stop people from paying the gold melt of gold coins. Most gold coins (old US, Canadian, British sovereigns) are 90-95 percent gold and are worth their melt value.
