For all the coins you have searched (lets make it easy and say this year so far) how much have you paid per ounce of silver? I did some quick math on what I paid and the number I came up with is $2.19 per ounce of silver for 2012. I looked at a historical price chart and that was the price of an ounce of silver in 1973, kinda cool.

I think this is the break down of ounces for each coin (correct me if I'm wrong):

40% ikes 0.3164
90% halves 0.3617
40% halves 0.1479
silver quarters 0.1808
silver dimes 0.0723
war nickels 0.0563

Figuring in gasoline burned in my vehicle from CRH activities, wear-and-tear on that vehicle, and my time spent CRHing, I figure I have paid at least $50 per ounce.

I value my time in the neighborhood of $10,000/hour, and I use my Black Hawk helicopter to travel from bank to bank...

Figuring in the maintenance on the black hawk I suppose I am paying about $150K-$200K/OZ give or take.

We are talking about total ounces, not necessarily from one ounce coins.
