<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 26582771, member: 74863&quot;]No one really knows for sure the exact number of a given date and mintmark of any coin that was minted and melted. We know the exact number that were minted from mint records. These silver coins have been melted since 1965 in a sense.</p><p>In the 1980’s a vast majority went into the melting pot with no regard to its real value. Things are different know and this hobby is changing before our eyes. Coins that once had numismatic value are now valued on the spot price. </p><p>As more are melted certain dates and mint marks will become more difficult to find and that will drive prices up. A common date coin could become rare. A rare date could become priced so high the vast majority of collectors won’t be able to afford one. </p><p>It’s just impossible to say which coin that will be. In the past many collectors filled holes in a folder or an album. Today, there aren’t as many collectors filling folders or albums. Will there be less in the future? Probably. Will silver and hold coins become more likely to be priced for their metal content. Most likely. </p><p>Just bare in mind that our hobby is changing as time goes by and prices are driven more by the metal content than a collection content.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
