What should I expect to pay for $50 face in halfs of this quality from the 40's.

    $600 would be doing average of eBay at the right time.

    12x for that quality? I must be shopping in the wrong places as that is current melt.

    Obviously melt would be ideal but in that condition I would be willing to pay better. I think silver is fairly cheap right now and would not be too concerned paying a premium for better quality 90% Walkers. If 12x is melt... I'd feel OK with 14-15 times face.

    Shop around on eBay. With the 10% bucks deal, they are cheaper yet. AU quality means nothing on this coin in those dates.

    I wouldn't want to get buried. I'd stick around melt, too.

    One might pay a tiny premium above melt for rolls of these coins in AU-58, but not much.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    definitely worth a premium
    sad that items are trending toward melt

    With silver low, and likely going a tad lower, I would not go much above melt. If you have a chance to view the coins prior, and think there may be a couple of good one's, well, you be the judge. Cheers, RickO
