<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 862032, member: 16994&quot;]We get very few customers looking for Uncirculated 40% half dollars here in the shop. I would bet maybe 1 or 2 a year. We buy many hundred 40% halves a month. We throw them in a big bucket and then when we get enough of them we send them off to our refiner where they are melted and melt assayed they then purchase the silver from us. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a pretty common practice with 40% half dollars. Huge supply and tiny collector demand.</p><p><br /></p><p>This thread has inspired me. I dug a nice looking 67 out of the bucket and tossed it up on EBay and I want to see what it brings. I may not melt them anymore. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
