[QUOTE="buyingsilvers, post: 1317634, member: 18821"]To me, they all have their advantages an disadvantages. The advantages of standing lib quarter, franklin or standing halves, merc dimes, or barbers is reclegnizability and slight numis. premium (assuming they're in decent condition and all in a single lot). Disadvantage is that they tend to be more worn (less actual silver content) Newer washington quarter or roos dimes and kennedy halves tend to have a lot more "meat" on them, but lack the easy recognizability that they're silver. The thought is that if......., things like mercs will be better when dealing with J6P. To me, the entire issue is a "mountain out of a mole hill" type of deal. I will buy whatever's convenient or cheapest for the dollar.
