[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4629825, member: 26302"]I would MOSTLY agree sir. However, there are weird interplays between the two. Its not all black and white. Let's say silver is worth $10. Common g-vg barbers are worth a premium. Two separate markets. A half dollar might be worth $4 melt, (rounding), and $8 as a coin. Let's make silver $25. Now those vg barbers will still be worth more than they were when selling as "coins", $10 for melt, but they will still hang on to some premium, so maybe $12 as a coin. Let's make silver $50. Now they are all worth $20 melt, and no premium for being a g-vg barber. This is roughly how I see it happening. So, I mostly agree sir, but in the middle there are weird interplays between melt and collectible coin prices usually. My play I used to like to make was buy junk silver bags put together when silver was high, and buy it when it comes back down. Play the arbitrage of some coins converting from melt to coins. The downfall for me is I never sell, so it didn't really work too well. :)[/QUOTE]
