Are lower grade numismatics keeping up? Will they catch up?

    My un-scientific observation is that lower and mid-grade US 90 percent silver coins are not increasing in value relative to silver's value. Should the numismatic value be "on top of" the melt value, or should they now just be bullion? Some of these Morgans, etc., that were worth 40 or 50 percent more than their silver value are now valued at spot (or below!) Will they catch up eventually? If this has been discussed elsewhere, please point me to the thread. Thank you!

    Well... That's a question for the Magic 8-Ball..... Values rose so dramatically this last year that melt value will probably continue to be the value of most silver that isn't a key or semi-key date for the foreseeable future..... And then there's gold.....

    I think silver will continue to rise in the near future, like this year. It will take longer for coins to catchup in value.
