Trying to understand the thinking with these precious metals. Unless you are stacked with gold and silver, whats the sense of cashing it in? Like me for instance. I have a small stash of 22 silver dollars. Coupla thousand bucks at todays prices. I guess you need ooodles of PM to even consider cashing them in.

I'm in this boat as with golfer72 where about half of my physical silver is in old junk coins (the other in .999 bullion). My understanding is that if you tried to cash in these coins you would only get about 90% of silver face value - primarily due to the cost of smelting. ChatGPT says local coin dealer wlll offer 90%. Avoid Pawn shops or "Cash-for-Gold" stores. But unless desperate, no point in selling.
