    In my brief stint as a coin show dealer in the 90’s I had to disappoint almost every non-collector that came up to my table. Amazing how many people put aside $2.00 bills and have Morgan’s from the slots in Reno. One reason I didn’t stick with it.

    Looks like the one to laugh at is the dealer offering 10% of silver value

    ???

    The dealer is saying "It's worth melt- just melt value", not "It's worth 10% of melt value."

    the sign on the counter begs to differ

    The sign on the counter is not clear. It could be saying that the melt value for a 10% silver coin is $1.60.

    In what universe is "It's worth melt- just melt value" understood to mean "10% of the value of the silver it contains"?

    Quick internet search:

    Q. With regards to silver coins, what is "melt value"?
    A. Melt Value = Silver Content × Current Silver Spot Price

    The closest I get is a quarter with 10% silver, which is nonsense. But we get the joke.

    Exactly, this AI stuff is comical. Should say 90% gutter not 10% gutter metal. Ai fail. RGDS!
