r-b, in the '80's I saw a lot more intrest in 'junk silver' than today. Reasons I don't like it as well as .999 oz's? It's a PAI to count & roll (esp dimes). You have to look at every one to make sure no post-64's (or Canadian) coins are in the mix. You go to sell and the buyer wants to inspect also. Silver dollars are ok but have < an oz. How do you price 'sliders'? I'm a lot happier dealing with 1 oz stuff.

I meet interesting people in all phases of the pawn shop business.
