<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1054583, member: 26030"]cpm9, thanks for the clarification on the pittman act ... i wasnt sure when that happened. so i think by your numbers about 50% of the total population of Morgans were melted back then. wow.</p><p><br /></p><p>dan88, you impress me with your brains. i am sure few college students are accumulating silver, good for you. one more thing, you should consider buying at least 1 American Silver Eagle (containing 1 oz. silver), just for fun. The obverse design is identical to the Walking Liberty Half, but the reverse is unique. Yes, the premium is high because the mint charges the dealers $2 per coin over spot, so when the dealer adds their profit of $1+ per coin, the premium you pay is $3+ or 10%+ over melt. However ASE's are absolutely stunning to look at. I think since you are a lover of silver, you should consider getting at least 1 to add to your hoard. Below is a 2010 ASE Proof that I bought from the USMint for $46.95 (usmint.gov) -- (funny, there was so much reflectivity in the fields that you can clearly see my camera and lens) -- however you can get regular strikes of the 2010 ASE for roughly $3+ over spot from dealers. I think the ASEs are the most beautiful silver coin on 2 legs (ha). So you might enjoy having just 1 to add to your hoard. Have fun accumulating!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://mindstar.com/2010_ASE_Proof.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
