<p>[QUOTE="JoeSmith, post: 583460, member: 18021"]Ok, I read all the posts in this thread. My silver is mostly "junk" 90% coins. I've found I could buy some better coins for just a little more than the junk value. If I wanted to collect coins, I have over 1000 mercury dimes I could sort out. A complete set of franklin half dollars can be had for less than 7$ a coin, while the melt value is about 11 times face. So you can pay about a 10% premium over bullion value and have something nicer than bullion. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had thought about getting some better coins, but I wouldn't know if it was made in China. They can make perfect key date coins, which makes all key date coins worth the bullion content. I'm sure there are some here who disagree with me, and I'd like to hear what they have to say on the subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
