Part of me gets a little sick inside every time I see another vintage coin destroyed in this way. The other part of me gets a little giddy knowing...
How many separate threads do we need about the direction of silver prices?
Looks like it could be a 65, but as others have said, the photos make it impossible to be sure.
Silver hasn't traded at $23 since Aug/Sept 2013. Heck, it hasn't even traded north of $22 since last November. I'm no chart expert, but the peaks...
nobody is melting MS70 or other high grade coins. the culls are what are getting melted first, and although that may have the effect of making...
