... I remember not too long ago when lots of collectors were dumping quantities of their $10 silver strikes for less than face value when casinos stopped redeeming them ... and one could not find buyers on this message board for less than face value, so they went into the melting pots?!!!

Some speculators believe at today's comparatively low silver price, that now is the time to buy. But as history has taught us, it won't be until a rapid price increase happens that everyone will be clamoring to buy again ... and at much higher melt price levels.
