<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 66050, member: 3011&quot;]I don&#039;t think anyone would want to remove the silver from coins except maybe Kodak and a few electrical contractors, and they would obviously have to pay for the smelting process if they wanted to use coins for some reason as their silver source.&nbsp; Otherwise, silver and gold have normally and historically circulated as money at the value of the bullion content.&nbsp; The alloy mixed with it to harden the metal is considered an advantage, and having the silver stamped into coin form is an assurance to the user of the precious metal content.&nbsp; Silver in the form of coins is really a more superior form of the metal than a bar.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess this is my usual long-winded way of saying it doesn&#039;t matter.&nbsp; Silver coins [whether 90% or 40%] shouldn&#039;t change hands at less than bullion value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
