<p>[QUOTE="BlackHorse1968, post: 7739317, member: 121638"]If they have very little numismatic value above spot silver prices, I would just polish them up and show them off or put them away to accumulate and maybe sell. Depends upon your collecting goals. I personally wrap my "junk" silver coins for a rainy day. If inflation ever becomes so high as to devalue our fiat paper currency, I still have silver coins which are a known silver content and easy to verify. Could be that someday a 1960 Roosevelt dime will be enough silver to buy you a loaf of bread when $500 in paper currency will not. I'm in the process of cleaning out my parents house and my Dad was an avid collector. The house keeps producing "treasure" every time I clean out a room. A few civil war tokens in the living room, a Morgan dollar in the bedroom, 28 sacks of Canadian cents from the 50's & 60's the garage ... ugh! Its always nice to find treasure![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
