Post Your Now Melt Value Numismatic Silver

With silver at record highs, a lot of numismatic silver (coins that used to command premiums) is now worth the silver content in the coins themselves.
I managed to snag a couple of Proof sets a couple weeks ago, and I took out some Proof sets I bought at issue price and imaged them all. The 2019 set was issued at $54.95, and is now worth $154 in silver value alone due to the 99.9% silver content. A 90% silver quarters set now melts at $93.48, even though a 2008 silver quarters Proof set was issued at $25.95.

I saw literal stacks of this stuff on a table at my LCS yesterday from proof sets being broken up.
That's a shame because I think their numismatic value will return in time and perhaps even exceed their value prior to the run-up in silver.
Very, very...better than EF pictures. Congratulations on developing your shooting talent.
Those photos are crisp!
Quite possibly this PF67 Franklin half.
Nothing close to the pictures you took above! I was able to secure late 50's mint sets for $25-$30 just late last year and now the silver content of them is worth $63.45. I looked on eBay now and a lot of sets are still well under melt if someone wanted that play.
I don’t have any pictures but my common date Morgans in 63 and maybe 64 slabs.
Well, I purchased these at melt in 2019 and I would guess I could still get out of them okay today-

I bought these around a year ago for $79.75 a piece and melt for a peace dollar is now ~$89.25. Sequential Gen 2.1 holders
