This is the only way I can be reached... I've been a Silver Fan for many years... My Theory is all about the Face Value of a Legal Tender U.S. Coin... The Melt Value of any U.S. Coin plays no Part in my Theory... Sure, there are many different types of Premiums involved when Precious Metals are Involved... I have many Generic Rounds of Silver... At Present, if I only had to pay just a little more for a U.S. Bullion Coin over the Price of the same Weight of any other Foreign Coin or Bullion Bar/ Round, I think you already know which one I would pick... I am very curious about this idea of yours... I'm always open to new ideas...
