<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TOLS196024, post: 72669, member: 3884&quot;]Wow!&nbsp; You raised some excellent points Willie.&nbsp; Ok, I&#039;ll try my best.</p><p><br /></p><p>1)&nbsp; You are 100% correct that if silver suddenly skyrockets, silver coins will be sold at a percentage under melt.&nbsp; Back in 1979-80 this percentage was as high as 40%.&nbsp; The reason for this discount is simple, it can take several weeks for the coins to be melted.&nbsp; So, the purchaser pays under melt so that if silver tanks while the coins are being melted, he won&#039;t stand to lose as much.</p><p><br /></p><p>2)&nbsp; I would agree that e-Bay is the perfect setting to sell these coins.&nbsp; First off, you don&#039;t need to accumulate $1000 face in order to sell your silver profitably.&nbsp; As for $1000 bags of 40% Kennedy&#039;s, they don&#039;t come up real often due to the currently depressed price of silver.&nbsp; So, unfortunately, there is no accurate way to tell how these bags will perform on e-Bay in a strong silver market, as there hasn&#039;t been a strong silver market while e-Bay has existed! </p><p><br /></p><p>3)&nbsp; Obviously everyone who buys silver hopes that it goes through the roof.&nbsp; However, I don&#039;t see a problem with buying old coins hoping for a rise in the POS, but not worrying if silver continues to underperform.&nbsp; I enjoy collecting coins, and thats why I don&#039;t buy silver rounds or bars, but rather silver coins.&nbsp; Would I part with many of these coins if silver hits $30 an ounce?&nbsp; Absolutely!&nbsp; Then I would take my profits and keep on building my collection of early American coppers.&nbsp; I think that this makes perfect sense.&nbsp; If I can get some extra money to buy more coins then why the heck not?</p><p><br /></p><p>And to quote Forrest Gump &quot;thats all I have to say about that.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
