    Just to clarify. Obviously did not pay $5.00 for the roll. That was the face value. But did get a good price. Isn't that what friends are for?

    PCGS Coinflation website has a different silver value than you do.

    Thanks. I usually use coinflation.com. Not going to use the other site again! $65.61 is correct.

    Full melt is 0.72 times the price of silver (roughly 13x face at $18 silver). Most people use 0.68 or so for dimes and quarters because of wear ($12.25 at $18 silver).

    Thank you. I have tried to argue this with many people many times. It seams that many people think 'Spot' and 'Melt' are interchangeable

    Nice to purchase something without all the 'add on's'.....The off the books market is increasing due to taxes and fees everywhere else....Cheers, RickO

    Hope you find some good stuff. I bought a number of hand rolled mercs a few years ago and ended up with a nice date assortment from 1916 to 1945 plus about 6 barber dimes and one beat up seated dime. It was a lot of fun.

    Thanks for your comment. I had my pick of dates (No 16-D or 21's) and condition. He also has a an assortment of Peace,Morgans, Roosies, Walkers,Franklin's, and Kennedy's. He has let me examine the group for errors/varities. I have examined all the 1919-P Mercs. he has for the doubled die. No luck there. He is not an error/variety collector, so I clue him in in that area. He's just a stacker. Sorry Ricko no toners. :(
