<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pnightingale, post: 1442982, member: 32585&quot;]I&#039;m some kinda split personality with regard to PM prices. Part of me is dismayed that my collection of world silver by type is less valuable in the eyes of others. Let me clarify that, the value to me remains constant, I&#039;m a collector not an investor. However I am aware that the value of some lower grade coins is determined by their melt value. As I don&#039;t intend to sell any of them, the value ought to be entirely irrelevant but I can&#039;t resist a certain satisfaction (or reassurance) from knowing that while a certain coin may differ from it&#039;s album-neighbor only in the last digit of it&#039;s date or a tiny mintmark, it is something of substantialy more value. What strange creatures we coin collectors are!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a quite hefty bag of scrap silver coins - damaged, bent, holed, badly worn, which I&#039;ve picked up over the years and I secretly dream of cashing it in when silver reaches $100 per ounce. I&#039;m not holding my breath though.</p><p><br /></p><p>A much larger part of me would welcome silver prices falling to $20 simply because I can buy more coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
