    Usually you can buy Morgans and Peace Dollars at your LCS.. no-where near spot... hard to get cheap junk...

    I have numismatic stuff and lower grade but id be after well more than spot.

    dimes, nickels, quarters, half dollars and dollars.. i have most of the albums and a good amount of the coins.. nothing ultra rare.

    Chances are on SS many will have decent collections..

    I almost have filled a tube of halfs. Mostly Kennedy's and walking liberties. I'm going to bank it up and trade when I have 10oz worth

    +1 with 1for1, American junk silver is not so junk in here (Australia). The same as ASE, they are not too cheap like how they are in US (I think...could be wrong).

    Walk past a Coin, STamp and secondhand book shop yesterday...the US junk is not cheap. I don't think it should be called junk in here...:D

    I'm planning a US holiday in the next year. May have to stock up while over there for both myself/others.

    What coin do people recommend most? Half dollar? Dime?
