<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1836693, member: 26302"]I was around in 1980. Of course bullion, .999, is worth more to refiners, and the price paid was higher. It will be in the future as well. Honestly, I find US junk silver overpriced nowadays. You used to buy at melt, and dealers paid below melt. Nowadays dealers want a premium to melt.

[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1836693, member: 26302"]I was around in 1980. Of course bullion, .999, is worth more to refiners, and the price paid was higher. It will be in the future as well.

In the future, if silver goes up and you truly are selling to refiners, they will not offer melt for 90 percent, they have costs to handle and refine it, as well as the fact junk silver usually lost a bit of weight in circulation. For fun and collecting I like buying junk silver, from a purely investments perspective, at todays prices, I do not consider it the best purchase. Btw, if things are different when you ounces are in the hundreds, does anything change once they are in four digits of ounces? :)[/QUOTE]
