Some at a BC coin shop, late august and early september, then around end of october[?] from a private seller whose phone number had been passed to me by the coin shop guy, for whom i'd done an unrelated favour in the meantime ... in both cases at kitcosilver.com's quote for silver in loonies, which is how coin shops have sold junk for years, when buying they pay a discount up to twenty per cent at times ... for anything in nice looking shape they want a premium, well i never pay that period, the private guy wanted an extra 1.50 apiece for some of his, but we worked that out by me cleaning up his assortment of other stuff, including a few sovereigns with absolutely intact rims, at small premium, which turned out to be a great deal in themselves, sold them since Haven't been to any coin shop for months now, or checked out any offers anywhere, but i'd expect that there is now a premium even on beat-up junk, as long as the weight is there ... don't know though ... they say there's lots of new silver around at huge premiums, but imho it would be better now to go through the process and get 1000oz bars out of the Comex, even if you had to get people together to do it If you can get junk at spot though, it's easy to calculate content - 5.00 face value is 3oz silver, 0.60oz/1.00, this applies from some year in the 30s up to 1967, includes dimes, quarters, halves, dollars
