Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 03/12/2008 2:33 pm Since a 40% half dollar has over $2.90 worth of silver in it, anything under $2.75 would seem pretty low to me. I suppose 'supply and demand' is depressing the price dealers are willing to pay. With a plentiful supply of both 90% and 40% coins, no one want to mess with the 40%. Might be a good investment opportunity. Report this Post to the Staff

I suppose 'supply and demand' is depressing the price dealers are willing to pay. Recovery costs are slightly higher too, as well as the fact that these can't be mixed with other coins to make bags. Because it also usually takes time to amass 2000 halves for a full bag, I'd be reluctant to pay out big money for a small collection of 40% halves as well. Report this Post to the Staff
One Red Cent Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 03/12/2008 11:29 pm Don't sell any more at that price right now. My local coin shop is selling 90% silver halves at $14 per $1 face value, for bullion content alone. (that's actually just under melt value). That's $7 for each 90% silver half dollar. Your 40% half dollars should go for about $3.10 right now. Report this Post to the Staff

I've been getting best prices on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
Robberbaron Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 03/15/2008 11:09 am I got close to 3$ yesterday for my 40%'s. Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 03/25/2008 3:21 pm You know...I've never sold a coin in my life......including the silver halves ! But, I gotta say.....kinda getting tempted to see what the dealer(s) in my town is paying for them. I'm thinking I've got about 60 40%ers and around 10 90%ers.......hummmmm.... I don't do ebay so......it'd have to be the "coin shop" for me. Edited by eaglefoot 03/25/2008 3:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
