Point well made. I just want to say that no one in right mind would purchase 10% silver content coins to be melted. Even 30%, 40%, 50%, or 72%. However, we can not discount the fact that these coins do hold precious metal, on top of collectors' value. I will take Mexico 10% silver peso over clad anyday

Price them low enough and someone will buy it. I myself dont want them at all....silver dollars and 90% are much more preferable and easier to sell

I like this discussion on 40% silver. I do a lot of coin roll hunting so I have a lot of 40% halves. I understand the higher refining costs means less of a return vs spot but what about as a hedge against higher silver prices? Basically what I am getting at is will the return vs spot get better if their is higher demand for silver? Can I buy low now and sell high during a silver run up?

@Silverbullet68 There's no refining cost with 40%, they just change hands. What I mean is, it's just not worth the refining costs...even the Hunt bros avoided 40% silver.

My LCS had a bunch of 40% Kennedy's they were trying to sell for $2.00 each.
It still took them forever as no one wanted them even "below spot".

Several years ago, I listed 3 rolls of 40% on Craigslist. This was during $30 silver. They sat for over a month with only one inquiry. I sold for 70% of spot.

I have about ten rolls of these, I wouldn't think of selling them unless silver went way up in value, also most all of them I found in rolls, or were given to me by someone who found them too.

They say preppers like them, it's definitely fractional silver with about double the silver of a dime.
