<p>[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1279951, member: 17919"]I think the discount for sterling coins is an American phenomenon, since the American market as a whole just doesn't seem to appreciate foreign silver coins, even the Panamanian silver coins that were minted on US silver coin planchets! Here in Japan, on the other hand, US 90% "junk" silver coins don't get any special treatment from dealers, and you can take a bag of mixed silver foreign coins to mini-smelters and they will calculate the fineness of the silver after they have melted the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
