<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1041701, member: 22143&quot;]Just for fun, here is what you get in Silver if you buy the full 2010 Silver Proof Set.&nbsp; This set includes the Kennedy 1/2 dollar and Roosevelt dime in 90% silver (the only way you can get these coins in silver) which brings the total silver in the set to 1.33827482592 troy ounces.&nbsp; The set also includes the nickel, the new shield penny, and 4 presidential dollars and the Native American dollar.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cost is $56.95.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thus if 10 are ordered:</p><ul> <li>Cost = $574.45 (includes shipping)</li> <li>Adjustment = -$50.60&nbsp; (I&#039;m subtracting out the face value of the 5 abomination dollars and remaining coins.&nbsp; You can always spend these at your liquor store for some booze.)</li> <li>Total Cost = $523.85</li> <li>You will have 13.3827483 troy ounces of silver</li> <li>Cost/Oz = $39.14</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>As you can see the cost/oz of silver is a bit higher.&nbsp; However this assumes that you only get face value for the abomination dollars and the penny and nickel.&nbsp; For a litle work you might get a higher return on them.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do however expect that over time to see a substantial numismatic value on that Kennedy 1/2 and maybe some on the dime.&nbsp; There are people who collect these each year, and this is the only way to get them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course if you are strictly a bullion buyer, silver will have to rise a bit more before this calculation works for you.&nbsp; If however there becomes a shortfall of silver, this might be one way to acquire some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
