<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1937292, member: 27832&quot;]Sure hope there aren&#039;t any uncaught key dates or varieties in those coins that you&#039;re getting ready to destroy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My take on junk 90% is that it consistently trades at a premium to raw metal, especially generic, non-name-brand, &quot;modern hand-poured&quot; bars. A roll of slick dimes might weigh 10% less than a roll of AU 1964s, but you can still sell it for the same multiple of face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s your stuff, and you&#039;re free to do with it whatever makes you happy. It just seems to me that you&#039;re paying extra money to transform it into a form that will sell for <i>less</i> money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, if you&#039;re not planning on selling, this argument is void. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Also, <i>sterling</i> tends to trade at a <i>discount</i> to spot, so the argument for refining <i>that</i> into .999 is stronger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
