Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2782640, member: 10461"]So why did I just bother reformatting and reposting an incomplete collection of mostly lower-priced coins I sold five years ago? Eh, I dunno.  I guess I just felt like it.  Maybe someone else who is working on a similar album might like to look at this stuff.  (Worst case scenario, I've got the pictures to use in the "Coin Uno/Follow the Leader" game threads.) This is what you could get mostly near melt at the time. As I recall, bullion was higher then.  Melt was like twelve bucks a coin if I remember correctly.  As I type this, the <a href="http://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html" rel="nofollow">melt value of a Walking Liberty half</a> is $6.07.  Maybe I did well to sell it when I did, huh?  LOL.  Seriously, though, this was a (relatively) inexpensive and fun collection.  I think I would get bored with being strictly a "stacker" accumulating silver bullion in random "junk" bags or ingots/bars, etc.  Personally, I find I have to have some numismatic element to keep things interesting.  But picking and choosing to create a nice looking "mostly-near-melt" collection is a fun way to collect and be a "stacker" at the same time. I did shell out a few more bucks to buy the 1921-S and 1938-D and some of tbe toughish early dates, obviously.  Never cracked the 1921-S out of the ANACS slab I bought it in, so I was able to sell that separately when I decided to sell the collection - well, accumulation - and move on.  No regrets.  Though short-lived, this collection was fun and educational.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
