[QUOTE="Doug21, post: 1042613, member: 5650"]I'm search challenged, can't find that thread. AG coins do lose 10% + of weight via wear, can't argue that.. 100 year old AG coins have better appeal to me than AU 60's junk silver. There is a point when silver hits the melting pot....in 1980 ( $50 silver) everything melted, stuff like BU original bags of 1922 Peace dollars, Granny's silver set, and Barber stuff, even SL stuff in nice condition. At close to $30/ ounce now...the underweight slicks trade at par. Factor in prices being about 3X more for stuff in 1980, so as $50 Silver in 1980 is about $150 in 2010 dollars, if you follow me....and holds that price ? Everything melts, underweight AG barber stuff and slick Mercs and SLQ's might trade by weight or be discounted with $150 Silver....or what it was in 1980 adjusted for inflation ? It didn't stay at $49.50 or whatever for long in "80". Make it $150 now....a lot melts ![/QUOTE]
