<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1134389, member: 27832&quot;]I decided I didn&#039;t need THAT many 1964 Kennedys, but in general I prefer keeping halves rather than dimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you really believe that the dollar will collapse and we&#039;ll all be using silver &quot;hard cash&quot; for barter/commerce, dimes are a more convenient increment for everyday purchases.</p><p><br /></p><p>If your coins are heavily worn, dimes lose weight more quickly than halves (a higher proportion of surface area to volume/mass), so $1 face of worn halves will likely retain more silver than $1 face of equally-worn dimes. If silver climbs enough, buyers may start to get picky about this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I chose to sell off some of each (dimes, quarters, halves), because of the proportions in which I held each. I tried to strike a balance between how many of each date I had, and how heavily worn the coins were, selling off the most heavily worn (since the buyer paid by face value). I did get rid of some dateless SLQ slicks (no Type 1).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
