<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 784340, member: 3011&quot;]The number comes from Ted Butler, a silver analyst, based on reported and estimated inventories around the world.&nbsp; Obviously, if the price of silver skyrockets, many folks will be tempted to sell a lot of collector coins for melt.&nbsp; But the 1 billion figure seems reasonable for the amount of silver available at today&#039;s prices.&nbsp; Also, many millions of ounces of the coins you mention have already been melted by the government and in the 1979 runup and should not be double counted.&nbsp; I doubt that very much of it would come to market unless/until silver prices move and stay above $25.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
