<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ethan, post: 2020900, member: 68800&quot;]The great melts....the biggest being 1980 ish...and to some degree in 2011...there was guesstimated to be over 50% of the 90% silver melted during the 1980 one. There are some web articles about it... They were melting Morgans, Peace, you name it, if it was 90% it got melted. Dealers had no time to check for dates etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still the 64 was common...and saw it fair share of melts.....</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/News/After-The-Melts-Whats-Left-In-Silver-Coins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/News/After-The-Melts-Whats-Left-In-Silver-Coins" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/News/After-The-Melts-Whats-Left-In-Silver-Coins</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v09n18a15.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v09n18a15.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v09n18a15.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ecommercebytes.com/cab/abu/y210/m08/abu0269/s06" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ecommercebytes.com/cab/abu/y210/m08/abu0269/s06" rel="nofollow">http://www.ecommercebytes.com/cab/abu/y210/m08/abu0269/s06</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>SO if Frankies bit the dust...how many of the 64&#039;s?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the 40% ers I think are mostly still here, refiners did not like them when they had 90%. In 2011 we saw the same thing....therefore...I am thinking that somewhere north of 50% (counting in foreign hands) but far less than 75% of the 64 P &amp; D&#039;s are left. Proofs? Well, I have not heard much nor seen much but being that 4 million were made, they were not rare and surely some of them found the way into the melting pots...Best guess is 65% of those remain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
