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'll have to agree with ArkieBassMan, after wear 'n tear, gas @ 15 mpg, about $40-$50 an oz.
 

nickels: 0.0563
dimes: 0.07234
quarters: 0.18084
40% halves: 0.14790
90% halves: 0.36169
silver dollar(90%): 0.77344
 

I would think around 3 per ounce..broken down among gas, pizza, doughnuts etc..
 

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.

Im happy with that.
 

Well, a teller sold me a 1922 P peace dollar for $2, so im asuming at being 90% its close to an ounce. I also bought a 2003 uncirculated American Eagle for $20
 

Just got a nudity silver oz 'flipper' for 15 bucks! And two morans for 35. An okay deal.

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

No more than 1.50 an ounce, I get all mine from CRH :P don't find spending 30+ on something I can get so much cheaper
