<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 5281126, member: 103207&quot;]Bottom line for collectors.&nbsp; Junk silver and common coins will always be junk silver and the common coins will always be considered common so don&#039;t assume you will ever get top dollar for them.&nbsp; 90 percent junk silver coins are simply bullion and are treated as such.&nbsp; &nbsp; One other thing I&#039;d like to point out is I would avoid paying big money any modern coin dated 1950 and later.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen some very high prices paid for this stuff.&nbsp; Nutty Prices!!!&nbsp; I think the price is driven by the PCGS and NGC population reports, hype or the Home Shopping Network..&nbsp; What I&#039;d like to point out that those population reports are worthless to us to estimate value.&nbsp; For every modern certified coin there could be far more just sitting in collections or dealer stock.&nbsp; Or just sitting in a safe deposit box that no one has bothered to look at for 20 years or more.&nbsp; I had this happen to me just yesterday.&nbsp; I went to the vault to get some coins a friend asked me to store for them.&nbsp; As I was pulling his coins out I found two 1958 proof sets I had forgot about.&nbsp; I took a look at both of them.&nbsp; One appeared to be an average looking set.&nbsp; However, the second set was really nice.&nbsp; Every coin looked very high end.&nbsp; Proof 69&#039;s or better.&nbsp; What did I do after looking at it?&nbsp;&nbsp; I put it right back where I found it and left.&nbsp; So it could sit another ten years before I look at it again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
