<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1806096, member: 26302"]To me, there never is a set price. Of course, it always depends on the silver market. "Back in the day" you could buy everything save for silver dollars at melt, unless it was "better". "Better" back then included nice VF+ WL halves, barber, SL quarters, XF/AU mercs, etc. Anything less than that was true "junk" and you paid melt, and received 85-90% of melt when you sold. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed "junk" silver nowadays included some stuff that used to be "better" like barbers, but overall the price of junk has gone up versus the silver market. Usually the best deal I can find from a dealer is 1-2 times face over melt. I find it at melt occasionally. I wonder if we have truly started to finally "run out" of junk silver in peoples drawers, and most junk silver is now in the hands of coin dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
