<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26611101, member: 13650&quot;]I was alive during a time when silver was $11/oz but was lucky to make $5/hr. part time.&nbsp; In 1999 I started making &quot;real&quot; money part time while i went to school.&nbsp; $7/hr.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I digress... point being, you could buy all the silver you wanted at $11/oz in the early 90s and now it just increased in value, up $11.88/oz in the past week.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is unprecedented and risky.&nbsp;&nbsp; It can drop faster than the increase.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the proper move is to do nothing for a while until this market gets it&#039;s bearings and we figure out what the new top and bottom is going to be.&nbsp; It very well may keep going.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; That being said, as for OPs original concern, I really wouldn&#039;t care if all of my collection became melt value.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;ll never happen but it would be easier to keep track of the value.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Junk silver is junk silver.&nbsp; Collector coins are more special.&nbsp; There&#039;s enough premium stuff that will never be melted that I don&#039;t worry about it.&nbsp; &nbsp; Two separate things that have their place.&nbsp; &nbsp; At the low end there will always be overlap.&nbsp; There is a very broad range beyond that level that will remain unphased by bullion value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
