<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adric22, post: 1810235, member: 38146&quot;]OK.. So I&#039;m curious about something.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been buying silver half dollars and silver quarters for quite some time for silver bullion.&nbsp; I came across a good deal on a Peace dollar a few weeks ago and bought it.&nbsp; After I cleaned it (yeah, I hear the tomatoes being thrown) it is a very beautiful coin.&nbsp; So I thought maybe I&#039;ll start buying some of these every payday instead of the half dollars.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But then when I went to buy more I discovered that the price is not consistent with the silver value.&nbsp; At the coin shop I was at today, for example, they were selling 90% silver half dollars for $9 a piece and yet they wanted $28 for a Peace Dollar or Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; These were just loose, circulated coins, nothing collectable about them.&nbsp; I asked why they were so much more and the only answer I got was &quot;that is the current silver value of the coins.&quot;&nbsp; But that makes no sense to me because they should only be worth twice what a half-dollar was, meaning I should be able to buy a Peace Dollar for $18.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I discovered the same disparity when looking to buy them online.&nbsp; Can anyone explain why a Peace Dollar costs 3x what a half-dollar would cost, when it only has 2x the silver content?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
