<p>[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 130993, member: 4791"]Alot of collectors are dumping their common silver and using the money to purchase higher priced coins they normally can't afford. The common silver coins can easily be replaced. I see a large run to coin shops here locally, people getting rid of accumulated coins. How does it affect the collectors? Well I was heavily involved in the 80's melt down. I remember seeing hundreds of Morgans at a time coming in. Getting sent off to the smelters, NONE of them sorted. I wonder how many of them could of been better date coins. Even the number of 21's that were melted is unbelievable. The mintages of any of the silver coins is nowhere near accuate as to the true number of coins available. Have the coins shown any adjustments since the 80's meltdown? Not really. Are some tougher to locate? I think so.. </p><p><br /></p><p>How many 21 Morgan do you think were melten in the 80's?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
