    Actually that's old news ... was announced last week by the Authorized Mint bullion distributors that an increase of $.50 per coin is in affect.

    Here is another article pertaining to this issue

    Don't you mean 33% premium increase?

    I'm sticking with 90%! Can get them at melt or below which makes them a great deal. Also I have read that recently with the rise in silver prices, places are melting down 90%. If that is true, sooner or later, 90% will become scarce and worth a lot more....at least I hope image

    They melted tons of silver dollars from 1979-1980, yet one cannot call silver dollars, even BU ones any scarcer than before. In fact they are probably at about the lowest levels they've been since the late 1970's. They'll have to melt a lot more to out a dent in the total supply.

    That 33% premium increase on SAE's should also give a jolt to the Maples and Libertads.

    << <i>33% premium >>



    If you put it into perspective...that's only about a 2.5% increase, based on today's ASE prices. ( Just keeping up with inflationimage, but I thought we didn't have anyimage )

    In 1964 the US minted about 420 million kennedy halves...it would take a lot of melting to get them down to rare status
