nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 12:32 pm SDCoinguy, I just compared a recent grey sheet with one from last year. It looks like the common date MS63 and lower coins have gone up due to the silver market, but the MS64 and higher coins haven't been affected. Report this Post to the Staff

TenSense Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 12:42 pm As long as silver keeps slowly rising, the intrinsic value of coins will begin to pass their numismatic value, in particular for common dates. However, if silver goes down, you still have the numismatic value to fall back on. So it's a nice double-edged investment. I operate on the assumption that smelter activity will eventually impact the availability of all silver coins, so I just buy whatever I can as far under spot as possible, since I'm way, way long on this stuff. History seems to agree with me -- see also Franklin halves pre and post-82 silver melt. Report this Post to the Staff
SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 12:46 pm so, if you had $100, would you get some MS+ franklins even if melt had effected it? my dealer offers decent prices. I'm going to check it out today and see what they have and hope its not to much above melt.. but with MS+64/63 franklins, they will hold a premium, $15-$20 wouldnt you say?

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 1:03 pm Looks like you made your mind up but for $100 I'd get a nice 1909 s Lincoln. I just love that coin for some reason. I also love unc. Frankins and walkers though. Report this Post to the Staff
