I sure wouldn't send any of my coins to the smelter regardless of the price of silver, be it $50 or 5000. But then, I have no "junk" silver...
Like Mark, my main focus is on large cents. And having gathered over the years nearly 200 of the varieties, I have no option but to be patient...
Like China, England doesn't always wait till the calendar year to mint and sell and deliver coins of that dated year. I'm willing to bet they are...
I'd pay $20 oz, but not for junk 90%. Even if silver jumped to $25oz tomorrow, I'd still bet he'd take a loss on 90%. Refiners won't pay spot for...
Seems classic commems have been gaining traction. I think just because there are a few I want to pick up. Early halves are also doing good,...

Thats not the point. I know the answer because it's what I do every day. It's a simple question for me to answer, impossible for you with the...
I'll test bdunnse's theory, using himself and his insistence on Google and research bearing fruit. Hopefully he can help me decide what to do when...
I'd say AU, or low MS, Frank. It was a great looking coin. That dealer never looked for varieties. Said his eyes were too bad and he didn't care...
1945 s micro s dime from a dealers junk box. Paid $5. later sold it for $100 to another customer of the store who heard what I found.
As was mentioned, the error was on the proof coins of that date. However, don't let that dissuade you from searching. I find dozens of proof coins...
Am I reading this correct? You're upset because the Mint clearly states they will not ship to a PO box, yet thats what you provided them with as...
