Gary, it is obvious, or seems to be obvious, that as silver increases in price, the prices paid for less common $10 strikes has diminished. My opinion is that should silver (or as silver) approaches $40 an ounce there will be no collector premium for rare strikes (all strikes may in fact be rare at that time). I have been contacting coin stores and dealers for many years regarding strikes and now most melt their strikes on a regular basis. I question if $10 strikes will be collected (by new collectors) in the future. I think the $200 strike may find new collectors in the future, but their price will reflect the silver melt value (little or no collector premium), especially if silver prices continue to rise. Another reason for the reduction of collector premium in strikes is the economy of the last three years. It looks like the economy will continue to stink and the price of silver will continue to rise. Just an opinion, good luck striking...
