[QUOTE="AshcraftCoin, post: 571589, member: 17767"]Time to stock up on some war nickels. :) LOL... I will, but you will have to be a patient person. (90 Day Delayed delivery.) That is over current spot. (Silver value $9.17) Of course, not too long ago it was probably under. [URL]http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1878-1921-Silver-Morgan-Dollar-Value.html[/URL] HOWEVER, still a GREAT price if you can get them because they are Morgans. We dealers have bills to pay too you know... sometimes we dump stuff (such as war nickels) because we have a ton of it or it has been in stock too long... better to take a small loss and reinvest than freeze assets in stock. However, don't expect to see that often with Half Dollars... the demand is there and the investment may be near $4 or $5 a coin so the price stays up. One rule of economics (not sure if it has a name) that also applies here is that prices rocket up, but fall like feather. Also, people are used to paying $5 - $6+ / half and most speculation is Silver will go up... so there is another reason the price stays steady. As far as eBay... the bidders set the premium. ;) Well, at least with most of my auctions I start them at a penny... so the price goes to what people are willing to pay... seems fair to me.
