<p>[QUOTE="AlexN2coins2004, post: 1041698, member: 19049"]I know that junk silver and buillion are 2 different animals but they are priced by the spot price also just like buillion junk silver's composition is well known or if some people don't know a quick few minutes on google can explain it. I'm not trying to "pollute" this thread or steer anyone toward buying junk silver either... but most junk silver is just that junk it's not valued on numismatic value it's valued on the known amount of silver in it and it's like how ASE's and maple leafs are... made by governments and of known purity... it may not sell at exactly spot price or have a premium on it like ASE's but if the silver spot price is at $20 or $200/oz you can bet junk silver isn't very far behind in price...</p><p><br /></p><p>also about the grading aspect and I don't mean MS 69 or MS 70's either... but about if you have a 1964 quarter and a 1986 ASE and both are in say G-4 condition (and yes I've actually seen an ASE like that too... it was kinda sad...) wouldn't the wear off of metal count against both coins? or unless people are just plain silly or don't know much about silver or junk quarters from 1964 and older are based value wise on where the price of silver is (with the exemption of key date and semi key dates) I seriously doubt anyone would use an ASE or junk silver for face value unless the price of silver took a nosedive to make it worth while[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
