Silver getting crushed today

I got 91% Melt for my 40% silver. Ended up getting 15 2017 ASE's for 120 40% halves. I had to throw in $24 bucks too. The math might be a little fuzzy there but it was pretty close to 91%. I am sure someone here will correct me.

Coinflation does not apply the discount that you should expect when dealing with 40% silver (or 35% war nickels).

17.7472 troy ounces of silver in the form of 40% silver coins is worth less than 17.7472 troy ounces of silver in the form of 90% silver coins. You'll pay less to buy it, and get less when you sell it.

 

I know silver was lower at that point but it looks to me like it was 19 oz .40% trade for 15 oz ASE, I am not gonna try to do the math though. Either way becuase it was from roll searching Bman got a pretty good deal in my books.

 

Yup. Given the choice of buying 90% at (say) 80% of melt, or 40% at face value, I'll take the 40% every time. (Actually, I'll take all I can carry of both.)

 

OKAY THANKS B-MAN........ this fella wants 11 40% coins for 1 90%

 

That is highway robbery right there!!

 

Roller Coaster Ride ... one trip for $18.375
or more ... or less.

 

I think it's going the wrong way (now back up) ... Nice spike down last night eh?
..

 

3 90% HALVES yields one ounce of silver. 7 40% halves yields one ounce of silver. That fella is crazy.

This is true. That is why I was happy when I got 91% of melt for my 40% halves.

 

haha. I was away for a couple weeks and you're STILL talking about selling your 40% halves?!?!?!?!?!

 

Did you get lost in the privy?
