......a 1970 D!! In very nice condition, as well! Only my second 1970 D in more than 4 years of CRH! They are certainly few and far between!

Sweet! Great recovery!

I bought five 1970's mint sets just for that reason. When the great melt down comes, they will be worth even more.


Great find...

The great meltdown what the heck are you talking about?

I believe I am experiencing that very thing at work today!!

The great meltdown what the heck are you talking about?

Whenever silver is way up like now (and in the early 80s), tons of silver gets sold to dealers and thus sent to refineries such as old silverware, jewelry and lots of 90% and 40%.

There is so much 90% being sold to dealers now that many dealers will sell if below spot to buyers just to unload it, since a refiner will pay them even less if the dealer sends it to them.

If silver keeps going up I believe that a large percentage of the existing junk silver will evaporate and be turned into bars and rounds (.999).

There are some good articles out there about what got sent in to melt in the early 80s. Alot of key years were melted because so much junk silver was being sent in the coin dealers didn't have time to sort out key dates. Even lots of key date Morgans got melted back then from what I read.
