With silver dropping so fast. how long before we see.......

With silver rapidly falling, how long before we start seeing .400 fine silver coins back in circulation?

The current value of a 1965-1970 Half Dollar (40% silver) is $2.7611, I think it will be a long time until people spend them.

Not to mention, if you already have them, why not sit on them until Silver jumps again?

Never....you need to ask yourself, when was the last time you received a half in change?

I found a silver 1976 quarter yesterday so it's out there

even when silver was 3-4 oz, I could sell 40% halfs for 75c each

Agree, but how many did you get back in change? I used to get mine in Casinos, playing the 50 cent slots. Put a $100 bill in the machine, cashed out & looked for the silver ones, gambled the rest.

Can you still find slots that take coins? The last time I stopped by a casino it was all electronic. The slots were awful digital things with 15 obscure paylines that you needed a PHD to figure out.


You could feed paper money in but if you won it just bumped up your balance and then would spit out a slip of paper rhat you had to cash in. They had so called nickel slots but if you played every line it was 75 cents a pull

Nope... slots that take coins are long long gone....all done with dollars & vouchers now.

Are we approaching or have we hit bottom? I can't sleep thinking about when to strike, I'm consumed with it.

Dang, bronco2078 beat me to it. I remember several years ago my wife and I hauled a sack of nickels and quarters we had saved to use in the slots in Reno only to find you couldn't use them anymore (they had just converted them). The funny part was there was another couple in front of us at the cage window cashing in their sack of coins they had brought!

Boy, I sure missed the clanking sound, especially the dollars!!!

Last December I needed some money for the holiday season so I cut up a couple of hundred 1968 & 1969 mint sets and sold the 40% silver halves for about 8.8x face. (I kept the nice ones) I figured these coins' value derived from the silver value alone.
