<p>[QUOTE="CasualAg$, post: 3256324, member: 99311"]My experience has been the same. I watched Morgans and Peace dollars on eBay, recently. None sold near their silver value, regardless of condition. I estimated weight loss, depending on perceived grade, as 1-6% - I weighed my own Ms and Ps to validate. “Actual” silver content had little effect on auction prices realized. I made bids that covered the silver value and didn’t have to buy a single coin. These were all coins with little to no numismatic value, I.e. $0.99 starting bid, no reserve, reasonable shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>At a recent coin show Ms that I would consider “junk” were selling at about 2 1/2 the price of their silver value.
