<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1223346, member: 3011&quot;]I believe that&#039;s the wrong way to think about it.&nbsp; Coin collectors, of all people, should understand that gold and silver in coin form is one of the highest and best uses of the metal.&nbsp; It is a way to invest and preserve wealth. Melt value is a much lower use and really should not be used to value coins.&nbsp; NOBODY should ever be willing to sell a coin for melt value or less.&nbsp; The very fact that the metal is in coin form gives it value above melt [i.e., scrap] value. So I would say the durability of a .917 coin gives it superior value.&nbsp; The premium on .999 is a misperception that may fade with time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
