I think you're looking at the wrong market. The "copper value" as quoted on Coinflation -- that's the value if you could magically (and...
It's both, but mostly it's that silver is going up. If you disagree, please point out a few common goods whose prices have risen at silver's pace....
Now, see, was that so hard? :)
No, but surely some come in. Most "normal" :) people don't come to the car wash to get change, but some people must use that as a place to dump...
Hey, thanks for all those 1965-1969 halves you've been putting back into circulation. :)
Current melt value for silver dimes is $3.37; for quarters, it's $8.43. A "very worn" 1853 quarter won't contain the full amount of silver, but...
Alas. It's clad. The Mint didn't resume issuing silver proof sets until 1992. From 1968 until then, it was all clad.
Well, yeah, but if I've got one commodity that's leaping 3-4% a day and one that's going up less than 1% a day, I'm happy to delay the conversion.
Can you show your work? With silver at $45.17, I get $326.75 per roll for melt value.
...and I just missed Silver coins, including 4 Frankies and 6 40%'ers, for $80 shipped. :( I gotta stop refreshing and get back to work anyhow...
A few more from this afternoon's "blink and you missed 'em" file: lot of 20x 1940 Mercury head dimes for $59 shipped lot of 58 1941 Mercury...
I saw a few pairs of SLQ's listed this morning for $12-14 plus 2.99 shipping. I decided to cheap out and ask about combined shipping; by the time...
Should've held out for the 50/1.2L. :) On the other hand, while it's hard to make lenses any faster than they already are, the low-light...
As others have said, shipping and handling lots of boxes of coins definitely costs the bank real money. A box of pennies weighs, what, around 15...
I'm not really up on all the latest technical analysis tools, but I'm pretty sure linear extrapolation isn't the benchmark for reliability. :)
Heck, I'll give you fifty cents for just the Merc, and you can keep the buffalo!
And given circulation, they turn to mud. :(
It's worth pointing out again that the Treasury ban on melting nickels specifically excludes war nickels. I'll see if I can dig up the post that...
So, is anybody else getting whiplash from watching the silver and gold spot prices this morning? :eek:
I bought a couple of rolls of war nickels just below spot a few months ago, but I quickly realized that I got such a "great deal" only because...
