<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sunflower, post: 898064, member: 23219&quot;]When it comes to US junk silver (pre-1964), think half dollars, quarters, and dimes. With the exception of War Nickels (1940&#039;s), cross off nickels and cents from your list. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>More about junk silver, there is a theory out there, just a theory, that modern junk silver (1950 and 1960&#039;s) might have greater numismatic value in the future. Some folks, like my dad, speculate that Benj Franklin halves will be discovered to be in shortest supply compared to the original mintage productions. My dad&#039;s idea&#039;s are based on what Cousin Richie did. Cousin Richie sold all his halves (minus the walking Liberties) for the purpose of smelting back when he could get 20 plus dollars an ounce. Dad thinks, that if Rickie would do such a thing to a coin (Rickie loved coins), then a lot of others probabley did too. In 20 plus years, I suspect a different version of the Red Book will be published - Maybe they can call it the almost black book - for those coins that almost died but survived.</p><p>&nbsp; (- Richie sold all his junk quarters and dimes at that time too.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another topic is coin change, keep an eye out for modern circulated proofs. Naughty children still exist, with family coin collections being converted into candy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
