[QUOTE="Victor, post: 131693, member: 5454"]Well thank you for the input, well taken. My feeling is also that silver coins are overdue for a price increase. I am starting a somewhat helter skelter Franklin half collection regardless of potential. Some I have already are in excellent shape. Some I am now getting are not so good but fill in the blank spots for now. I was offered a complete set of mostly BU Franklins for $575. No, if I were to spend that much it would probably be on gold. I own enough silver eagles. The smelter said he only pays $12.12 for new silver eagles. Kind of a losing battle buying them for $15 and more. I have 6 newer (just good grade) Liberty walking halfs and a very nice album that goes from 1934 to 1947. But they are expensive and some years will stop me such as 1938D. So that's on the back burner. I think I will go ahead with the filling in of the Franklins but at a slower pace.[/QUOTE]
