Does anyone turn there finds into bars?

I figure you could trade 4 halves for a 1 ounce bar?? anyone try this... then you are really only paying 2 bucks for a 12 bar??

I'll give you a silver bar for 4 halves. Make it one each 1970, 1970-S, 1987-D, 1987-P. All in uncirculated condition, of coarse.

Or maybe 4 1878-S halves

i actually did do that when I was a kid (mid 80's) and had something like 30 bars after some time......thanks for reminding me of that....I like bars....especially when I'm thirsty.

what would the conversion rate be for 40%'s?

i make my own melt all the old fishing wieghts into a mold and make lead bars

I guess you never expect silver to get up to $50/oz. I'm holding on to mine for awhile. Even picking up a few silver rounds when I can get them for near spot.

Morgan & Peace Dollars contain .77344 Troy oz of AG
The only IKE with silver content are the 1976 Bicentennial and thats silver clad with .3161 oz of AG

Ikes had more silver years than just bicentennial. Also includes 71S, 72S, 73S (both silver clad and regular clad), 74 S (both silver clad and regular clad).

 

[goldinmypan]

I stand corrected. Thanks AF

 

[AFModell]

Hey goldinmypan, not a correction, just an addendum. I was only aware that tehre were more years, because on my first roll hunting expeditions I got a 71S silver clad. Keep tearing that paper!
