<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1005652, member: 26302"]"Too good" changes based upon silver price, always has. With the silver market today, all of those things you mentioned that you couldn't junk are in fact junk. I have the same problem, most of my "junk" silver is circulated Morgans, WL halves, dated SL quarters, VF Mercury dimes, etc. When I bought silver at $4 an ounce, I still cherrypicked better stuff, maybe paying $5 an ounce for it. Heck, the only 2 rolls of Roosevelt dimes I have is a picked out set of 46, and the other roll is half 49s and the rest earlier coins. I have other "junk" from purchases but most of the quantity is better stuff.</p><p>One thing to remember is that when silver goes back down, a lot of what you consider non-junk will be in these junk bags. I got a ton of G barbers and dated g/vg SL quarters digging through junk bags that were put together in the late 70's. If silver goes back down, remember that, and buy these bags to pick through.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
