<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1711679, member: 44079&quot;]There is still a lot of &#039;junk&#039; silver out there.&nbsp; Several firms are still selling 250, 500 and 1000 face value bags of it (based on the weight, not the face value).&nbsp; Likewise I acquire some fairly regularly at flea markets and the like.&nbsp; Usually US coins so badly worn both the rim and the date have vanished.&nbsp; I have seen some worn so smooth that holding it up to a light with a magnifying glass is needed to tell what kind of quarter or dime it was.&nbsp; Like many &#039;survivalists&#039; (once called investment speculators) I put mine into a box or jar or a .50 ammo can, for that rainy day when they will be the most acceptable currency (along with certain other tangible assets), if that doesn&#039;t happen, well my grand kids will be happy.&nbsp; This is separate from how collectible coins are handled.&nbsp; I think there are probably maybe ten or twenty million other Americans of similar mind, so the amount of stashed &#039;junk&#039; silver in private hands is probably fairly large.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
