    My LCS near me sells 90% silver halves, dimes, and quarters at a 25:1 ratio (barber-kennedy, barber-roosevelt, SLQ-Washington). Is this a good deal? Should I wipe them clean, or should I just get the barbers, or should I just get certain years? Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Actual melt value is 22.5:1 right now, so I guess 25:1 is a fair price to pay at a B&M.

    I just got a bunch for 21.75 x face value. I think 25 is a pretty typical price. That would mean half dollars at $12.50. Not bad at all.

    i personally am used to buying 90% at whatever melt is at the time which is why i buy it over pure. i hate premiums. some dealers do charge premiums for barber stuff though

    I would do it, my coin shop is located in southern california, so whenever I buy something I get the honor of paying an extra 8.75% tax. Feels so nice spending uneccessary money. :(
