$4.60 silver seems to be the best I can do on e-bay. And to get that I have to watch 95% of my bids go to higher bidders. Most goes higher than that of course. The real e-bay price is closer to $5 oz silver. A couple of weeks back I got three rolls of 40% Kennedy halves at 70 cents a coin after shipping costs figured. That comes out to $4.75 silver melt value and it's the best I've done on e-bay in many a moon. Sometimes there are Dutch sells on 40% halves for .58 to .65 a coin with plenty of coins to bid for. Sounds good, but shipping costs tend to be high, so you have to buy a lot to make it pay, and the coins are many times worn or dirty. Whereas I usually get my coins in decent shape. Some will claim they can buy $1000 bags at 4.40 silver, but how many people can afford to bite like that? And are all the coins in decent shape in that bag? Some might sellers might slip in coins in good or very good condition with considerable wear.
