<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MargaretA, post: 1479060, member: 38733&quot;]Sorry, I&#039;m confused. What is &quot;melt&quot; value? Is it the current price of silver, which according to Coinflation here:</p><p><a href="http://www.coinflation.com/coins/silver_coin_calculator.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinflation.com/coins/silver_coin_calculator.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinflation.com/coins/silver_coin_calculator.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>is $27.54 (per ounce, I think)? Or is it something else? So, if I&#039;m guessing right, then a dealer should be offering *no less than* 97% of that $27.54 - $26.71? Per ounce? As an example, Coinflation says the value of 1 Morgan dollar is currently $21.30, so I should get no less than $20.66 (97% of $21.30)? Or am I way off base here?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the biggest reason I wanted to ask about this here was to see if there was a better &quot;home&quot; for some of these coins than just a dealer who would buy them only for the silver (after which they get melted down, I suppose). But I&#039;m not sure I have anything really special that someone would want. And as far as the price of silver goes, I did just check that and it&#039;s way down from this time last year, I guess from too many people selling theirs for economic reasons (which is my reason too). I could hold on to some of these coins but I do need to sell some. I wonder if there&#039;s a way to decide what to get rid of and what to keep for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if that makes any sense; I&#039;m still trying to figure this all out. But it&#039;s been very educational already, and I&#039;m glad I asked all these questions instead of just taking the coins to the nearest &quot;We buy...&quot; place.</p><p><br /></p><p>About the 1928 dollar - when I went back through the coins for the mint marks I couldn&#039;t find it, but I did have one more 1923 than I&#039;d thought, so I think it&#039;s just that I need new glasses. Oh well... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, one other thing: What is the difference between a coin dealer(/stealer) and a silver broker? I can find lots of dealers, I think I&#039;ve already been to two, but how would I locate a broker if I do decide to sell them for the silver?</p><p><br /></p><p>Meg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
