<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1629078, member: 27832&quot;]Getting back to the original topic...</p><p><br /></p><p>Current POS from Coinflation is $31.92. Here&#039;s a quick table of Coinflation &quot;melt value&quot;, Provident buy price, and Provident sell price (as FV multiple) for different types of coinage:</p><p><br /></p><p>[table=&quot;width: 500, class: grid&quot;]</p><p>[tr]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]Coin[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]Coinflation melt[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]Provident buys at[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]Provident sells at[/td]</p><p>[/tr]</p><p>[tr]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]War nickel[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]35.9[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]28.8[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]36.3[/td]</p><p>[/tr]</p><p>[tr]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]Kennedy half (40%)[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]9.44[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]8.86[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]9.68[/td]</p><p>[/tr]</p><p>[tr]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]90% silver (xFV)[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]23.1[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]22.9[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]24.9[/td]</p><p>[/tr]</p><p>[tr]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]Morgan/Peace cull[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]24.7[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]27.7[/td]</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [td]32.3[/td]</p><p>[/tr]</p><p>[/table]</p><p><br /></p><p>Exact numbers may waver, as the price of silver was fluctuating while I collected this information. But these general observations reflect what I&#039;ve seen from other silver buyers/sellers:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>War nickels bring nowhere near &quot;melt value&quot; when you try to sell them to large buyers. The 20% discount at Provident is actually the smallest I&#039;ve seen.</li> <li>40% silver trades at a discount as well -- again, the 6% discount here is smaller than I&#039;m accustomed to.</li> <li>90% silver trades very close to spot. Others may sell it cheaper than Provident, and probably pay a bit less for it.</li> <li>Dollars, even culls, trade at a significant premium to spot.</li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
