<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 737849, member: 13650"]You don't have to be sorry. It was a good, honest question. The other reason people might want to know is because there are millions of worn out silver coins out there, with very little numismatic premium over what the silver in them is worth. And nobody prizes them. They can be beat up, ugly looking, worn out, and hard to sell. Some people will hold on to them, while others would rather cash them in for silver value and let them get melted.</p><p><br /></p><p> If silver ever hits $60 or maybe even $100.00 an ounce, you can bet that many, many silver coins that used to be decent, lower dollar, collectors items will be sold and melted down. Just because silver could drop back down to $17 an ounce and the coins wouldn't be worth much numismatic premium again at that point. People would cash out and let them go to the melting pots if they ever got a chance like that. $18 for every common silver quarter?? Oh yeah, they'd be melting them down 24/7.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
