<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 795936, member: 3011&quot;]The point is that coin silver is one of the highest and best uses for the metal.&nbsp; It makes no sense to melt something from a more valuable to a less valuable state unless there is no other option.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t widely understood at present, and the result is the market discount.&nbsp; Besides, the &quot;impurities&quot; are actually copper, and are not worthless.&nbsp; So 1,293 morgan silver dollars, or 5,530 silver washington quarters would be more valuable than the single 1,000 ounce bar even when you exclude or ignore the numismatic premium.&nbsp; But as I said, your viewpoint is the more common one because the idea that coins exist to ultimately be melted is the more prevalent one.&nbsp; It may not always be that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
