It all makes sense. I'm still going to hold onto the quarters and see if silver goes up any more. If it bottoms out before I unload them, then no big deal. I'll just have more for my collection.

Back to the original topic, if the price is right, I'll be ok with turning them in for melt. I may hesitate on the really special coins. Coins like Morgan CC's etc in superb condition. That would make me cry I think. Anyhoo, it's all a matter of personal choice.

I scrapped a bunch of common Barber, Mercury and Roosevelt dimes and some bad Franklin halves along with some less than pristine Peace dollars.
All were purchased over the last two years at below then-spot prices. I did well cash wise, but as is pointed out above, they were very worn and not really collection worthy. I held the stuff that was above melt numismatically. I made money, which will be plowed back into yet more coins.

My problem is that I cannot part with any of my silver coins.
I have been thinking about selling my mercs and walkers
(the few that I have are scrap) in order
to really upgrade my Kennedy half short set and maybe pick
up some mid-grade morgans or Peace dollars. But the problem
is, each time I sit down to photograph them for ebay, I stop and
just put them back into my coin table. Oh well, one day I guess haha

the more 90% that is melted, the happier I am as my 90% becomes worth more :D
