<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 131779, member: 3011&quot;]One other thought...</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t consider a smelter price, or even a dealer price, to be necessarily representative of the value of the coins except for completely worn or damaged items.&nbsp; This basically represents what you could get in a forced liquidation of coins with no desirable characteristeic.&nbsp; I know that some dealers will disagree, and some think the universe revolves around them because it used to, but it doesn&#039;t anymore.&nbsp; Ebay and the internet have changed all of that, and many places offer to buy coins such as silver eagles at spot or spot plus a small premium.&nbsp; I saw a couple for sale at a garage sale for a fairly high premium, and they sold to someone [not me].&nbsp; You could also probably sell a few to people at school or work if you really wanted to.&nbsp; At some point in the future, if silver prices continue to rise, it will become even easier to sell them for full value or more [if that&#039;s what you want to do].&nbsp; Right now silver is still fairly unpopular to most people.&nbsp; Someday this could change.&nbsp; But in case it doesn&#039;t, buy something of reasonably high quality, or make sure you pay a significantly discounted price for low quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
