<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 3097377, member: 74863"]I'm not questioning your figures but you left out some facts. Billions of them have been melted and are gone forever. More will be melted, all done under the law by the Feds. No one knows the surviving mintage of any specific date/mintmark. No one knows how many have been lost forever. If only one was in every car they have scraped that's a lot. Sooner rather than later, all junk silver will be higher in value than they currently are. Lastly, about 25 or 30 years ago, the face value of junk silver was about 8 times face. And today it's what, 12? Yes they are plentiful but the price continues to rise over time. If you clean them, then they will never be higher than face times the current rate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
