Looks like the $40 strikes might be the future for silver strikes. Silver is hovering at the $13 mark. How long will a $10 strike be viable? The cost of manufacture has to be approaching the "above $10" mark. I'm not sure I like the new Dollar machines. My only experience has been with the fremonts new machine. My experience was 4 coins for $220, with the first coin coming at the $120 mark. It will be nothing to blow through a Benjamin with no coin on this format machine. How will that go over with the average collector? Just my 2 cents.
