<p>[QUOTE="icerain, post: 1324449, member: 34514"]So I keep hearing dealers talking about the melt value of a coin. And other people recommending to buy under the price of the current PM value.

It sounds a little off to me and if I can really find Morgan dollars for $24 or under I would be buying ten of them everyday. </p><p>I mean I do know that coins have numismatic value but according to some dealers and bullion buyers, a coin is only worth melt value.
