40 % Silver Coins

Wanted to know what the market was like for 40% silver Kennedy's. Also, what is the current multiplier to determine the value (ie. 90% is 13x face)?

Looks like about 5x face on ebay. They aren't good for stacking. I sell mine that I find.

 

Lon, do you mean they are not good for stacking space wise or not good for stacking investing wise? I seem them sold on all the bullion websites and at the LCS near me.

 

Mintproducts.com - 40%silver halves 52$ a roll

 

Ebay has rolls of them ranging from $48-$60

 

Yes - I trust Ebay sellers like my ex-wife!!

 

Hey, I wonder if my first wife is out there somewhere selling on EBay. I doubt it would be coins -- she has trouble counting money.

 

Mintproducts.com - I bought these - I think 52$ for 40% roll - most are BU!!

 

Do you think stacking 40% is worthwhile? The 40% that I have been getting are not in good condition.

 

Let's hope she ain't counting Your money!! - How in the heck do they just leave and then pretty much steal your possessions? Oh - I don't know anything about vicious women!! LOL!!!!!!!!

 

These are mostly BU - don't waste your time on crap!!

 

Mintproducts.com are usually pretty good to buy from. Not associated with them, just had good experiences dealing with them buying rolls - plus S&H is very cheap!

 

Alright. not good for stacking silver stockpile wise.
Sell 40%. Buy/keep 90%.
40% will always, always trade at a discount. Same with sterling.
.900 or .999 is the only thing worth keeping.

 

I'm not up on sterling. What does it trade for? About the same as 90%?

 

I also trade in my 40% at some point. I do keep them till I have enough to do something with. If I get 2 and then sell them for $4 that money just disappears to Starbucks or something of the sort.

 

My local shop will sell the 40% Kennedy's at spot value even if I buy 1 coin. Same goes for 35% war nickels. But to resell them back its 95% spot. I like them because they're cheap and you can stack them quick. But others do not like them b/c there only 40% silver and almost always dirty, and would rather spend the $ on 90% silver.

 

Per ounce its closer to 40%. The alloy (the other 7.5%) isn't always the same across different sterling pieces.

 

I'm an Ebay seller...

There's good and bad out there - just like in anything - especially when it comes to relationships.

 

Indeed - I'm also a seller but part time - sell just enough to put it towards my coin habit! After years you know who you can buy from and who you stay away from - I say things that I know exactly the point I'm trying to get across - other people don't see it that way. No harm, no foul!(hopefully)
