<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1368118, member: 26302&quot;]Do you really think US junk silver, especially silver dollars, are being melted still? Even in 1979 the silver dollars I saw were not being melted, just being sold for melt. Bags of old silver dollars even back then were a premium item.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hear a lot about world coins being melted in this country, but I would be surprised if non-damaged US coins were being melted still. Considering the costs to smelt, I would think old US coins, (again especially silver dollars), would be a higher value than the silver obtained from them.</p><p><br /></p><p>What would be interesting would be to go through some bags of junk being put together today. I bet there are better coins in there than you think at these higher silver prices. I loved buying bags put together in 1979-80 and going through them when silver had come down. All kinds of &quot;better&quot; coins in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
