<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1628415, member: 36230"]If this were fact, silver dollars (pre-21 Morgans in particular) would not regularly sell at a small premium above their silver content. While said premium may not be numismatic in the classic sense, it is a premium nonetheless. Of course not all dealers/sellers are the same, but it does not take one long to realize that when junk is offered at melt, the first to go are almost always the dollars, so a small up-charge somewhat evens out the playing field, and is more the norm than the exception.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, a $5 premium is high, especially when the same guy wants only $2 on ASEs, but still, it would not be a bad idea for the OP to put certain dates/mints to memory.
