My silver coins are about $238 face value. We culled those out of pocket change when the silver recall was announced. My wife has something like $50 in un-circulated full silver Kennedy half dollars and another $20 of un-circulated half silver Kennedy half dollars. These are heirlooms to pass on to our grand children.
I have some coins like that I won't sell. When I wrote "actual silver coins and bullion" I should have just said bullion, because I'm talking bars and coin shaped bullion, such as commercial mint rounds - and US silver eagles, Brit/Aus/Canadian rounds. Typically bought from dealers on ebay (best way to buy silver, IMHO) or at best possible web deals. I did occasionally buy from individuals, but only those with top ratings and even then, I tested the silver with non-destructive tests. Never any problems. Also I've had people pay off debt, or buy stuff with silver.
Just over $19.50. Decent percent move a short time! I won't sell unless we go into mid $20's.
