<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26650407, member: 27832&quot;]&quot;Relative scarcity&quot; of Roosevelt dimes washed out when silver hit <i>five</i> dollars an ounce, and people were still filling albums of those when silver was $30-40/ounce.

I got a lot of the key dates from large eBay lots, where I certainly overpaid for the keys relative to the then-current price of silver.

Today, not so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>(When I was selling off a lot of silver for small profits ~10 years ago, I couldn&#039;t bring myself to let go of those tubes of Barbers, especially since people were offering <i>less</i> for them due to wear-induced silver loss. At today&#039;s prices, maybe it&#039;s time.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
