Answer by TAS_Wine_Drinker
I think if you live to be 100 or want to will to someone in your estate it could be.
The problem is that it is common currency - nothing really special about it.

Question by mossme89: Is now a good time to invest in bullion coins?
So the economy seems like it could hit the fan again anytime soon, so i was thinking, would it be a good idea to invest in something of material value like silver coins? I was thinking about getting the Kennedy half-dollars (even the ones with 40%) silver or "junk silver". As long as a coin has more material value than its face value, im happy. Are coins with more material value than their face value rare, or is it something that if i go to a bank i would have a good chance of picking them up?
if i would buy coins, i would get them from a bank for face value. Would this work?

Be a bit careful with coins.
They are easy to buy, hard to sell.
You are not paying for the gold weight - you are paying for the desgin also.
If you go to sell and no one wants your design you'll come out losing.
Go on ebay and look at all the people selling exactly what you are about to buy for much less.
My dad did it for a few years and has regretted it all his life.
If you collect the coins - do it as a hobby - not as an investment.
Open a brokerage account.
But something called GLD = gold
or SLV = silver
This is the REAL way to invest in gold and silver - the way smart people do it.
Contact Charles Schwab or Fidelity Investments.
They don't charge a penny for opening an account.
The commission for buying your gold stock will be less than 10 bucks.
You can also buy long term cd's for free
You can aslo buy gold bullion from a treasury office.

Question by sportin wood: How to turn junk silver into good casting grain for later use?
I have alot of scrap silver that I want to melt into casting grain..I have a furnace that I have melted silver in before but I cant seem to get the nice small grains for ease of melting later..I also have some .999 fine that I want to turn into sterling casting grain..Any help would be great
Thanks

Answer by tigris
generally I don't think it's worth the bother. The problem is that your sterling silver is an alloy, and whenever you melt it, some of the metal with a lower melting point vaporizes. Repeated melting and casting doesn't really improve the metal.
I never bothered to convert scrap metal in an extra step into casting grain. But out of curiosity I looked it up and it's apparently done by pouring molten metal into a large bucket of water. Sounds not entirely safe, but I guess if the quantity of the metal used at one time isn't too great it shouldn't be too bad if you keep your head out of the hot steam and wear a faceshield.
Not sure about turning fine silver into sterling silver, because I think there are quite a number of different alloys of sterling silver which have different additives beside copper. If you really want to try that I would search through some books for professional jewelers. I think it will require some reading for if you want to use it for anything you want to sell you have to make sure you still have the required silver content.

Question by Sonata: Anyone have some good Pokemon Soul Silver / Heart Gold training advice (for Poke around level 50+)?
Okay so I got all 16 badges and I'm stuck where to train. My strongest Pokemon is a level 54 Weaville. He's always been my strongest and my pokemon have always been a lot lower leveled then my opponents, even random trainers on the streets! Even so I've never had a real problem battling an opponent and I even made sure to deposit my Pokemon so I have the same amount as a gym leader does when I battle them. I even managed to defeat 3 of Red's Pokemon (mainly 'cause of items). I battled every trainer (I think) and I'm stuck where I can train. I need to raise a couple levels before I do a double battle with my rival against Lance and Clair or challenge Red again. I'm kinda shocked that my Pokemon are so much lower leveled than my opponents', especially since half of them were traded! Sorry to monologue, but getting to the point I need to know a good place to train. I can't use the elite four because they're too strong now and take too long.
Here's my current team:
Weavile: -traded- (hatched from Pearl version, traded for my Cyndaquil as soon as I could trade on SS. Made sure levels were equal) Level 54. Ice Punch, Night Slash, Cut, (4th attack is gonna be Brick Break or Swords Dance whenever I find the TMs) *never had a problem leveling up*
Steelix: Level 52 Earthquake, Rock Climb, Screech, Rock Smash (I know it sucks but I need that HM) *takes forever to raise*
Raichu: -traded- Level 53 Thunderbolt, Fly, Flash, Headbutt
Vaporeon: Level 52 Surf, Whirlpool, Shadow Ball (very weak for some reason), Auora Beam
Dragonair (shiny :> ): -traded- Level 51 Waterfall, Dragon Rush, Dragon Dance, Headbutt *want her to stay a Dragonair without evolving*
Aipom (gonna evolve soon): Level 49 Last Resort, Strength, Screech, Double Hit (his attacks stink right now, gonna teach him the 3 elemental punches)
I also have other pokemon on standby that I raised for a while then stopped inlcuding:
Level 41: (shiny gamestop) Raichu, Ledian (stunk in battle), Dragonair (used before shiny), Togekiss
Level 50: Luxray
GIVE ME TRAINING ADVICE PLEASE 
Best answer:
Answer by Doomsday King
For a this team I recommend training at Mt. Silver. There are lvl 49-51 pokemon in there. Also bring a lot of and just use an escape rope do get out anytime or just use the TM move Dig. I think you're pokemon are a good match for these pokemon. (Hint: Moltres and Pkmn Trainer Red is in there)

Question by Beth: Any good places to find or buy junk silver coins?
I'm looking for junk silver in quarters, dimes, and copper pennies. Here's some places I have already and let me know if you have other suggestions, thanks.
Grocery store change
Banks
Laundry mat business
Coin collectors
website mint companies
Best answer:
Answer by curtisports2
Well, what are you looking to pay, face value or the going rate?
For face value, you can try going through your change or sorting through bank rolls. This isn't going to yield much. With high prices back in the news again like 1980-91, the average person is paying a lot more attention to their change. Sorting of bank rolls has picked up.
Unless you own the laundromat. good luck finding an ignorant owner who doesn't know about silver coins.
As for collectors, they expect to get near 'melt'. Websites charge a premium above 'melt'.
So, what are you willing to pay? I'd be happy to unload my stash of 'junk' silver for an ounce.

Answer by Jonathan D
I don't have the answer, but I would suggest that you go to this site- The IPL Refdesk (link below). This goes to students studying to be reference librarians and they can probably help you much better than those here (here we basically use yahoo or google).
As a reference librarian myself (though I unfortunately don't work in a large library at the moment) my professional opinion is that this question is a lot more likely to be answered from a print source than from the Internet, and I'll explain why if you're interested:
Short version: if it's both obscure [at least to English speakers] and it happened more than 10 years ago, it's not that likely to be on the Internet. (Always remember the Internet is the size of an ocean but the depth of a pond on most issues.) Since the coin is from 1975 and a topic few people are interested in there just is not a lot about it online.
However, there should be lots more about it in the print materials of a large reference library as they would have numismatic encyclopedias, almanacs, and newsreels from around that time. If you have access to a large public or college library, look at the 1975 index for the New York Times and there will probably be an article- ask the librarian for help if you don't know how to do this as I guarantee you he or she will know what you're asking for. There probably won't be anything in the index under 5 peso coin of course, but look under FERDINAND MARCOS and COINS-International and other relevant words. If they can't find it there, go to the biography section of the library and look in the index of biographies of Ferdinand Marcos for "coinage", or if they have no bios of Marcos look in the most recent book on the Philippines or in books on World Currency.
Sorry I can't help more, but below is a link you should use to ask your question.

Question by Adel: Where are good places to look for silver coins?
It seems like silver quarters/dimes are almost impossible to find in circulation these days. Do you think that looking through quarter rolls from banks is worth it? Is it possible that someone working in the bank can actually filter out the silver coins, making it impossible to find any in the rolls? I'm an amateur numismatist, and so far I've found only 1 silver quarter in high school (about 6 years ago) from 1943 and my brother came across a '64 recently and gave it to me. And the other day I found a silver dime from '47 in a roll-it sounds nice when you drop it on a countertop. I'd like to collect more, and don't have deep pockets to buy them from eBay, coin dealers, etc. What I want is to find them in circulation or anywhere or at face value - and please don't reply to tell me that's impossible, too bad, etc., because I do understand that most of these coins have been hoarded before I was born.

Question by Tony: Whats a good way to get/find a lot of silver coin's (dimes/quarters) before 1965?
I've been checking my spare change hoping to find one. I need a way to supercharge my searching. Any ideas on how to get a lot of change with little effort? I dont mind searching through the coins, I have some whitman folders i want to fill up.
Best answer:
Answer by liberty 911
If you are in a hurry, there are several places you can buy bags of those coins, but you will be paying more than current silver value for them. The best way I know to find pre-1965 silver coins at face value is to buy rolls of coins from a bank and search through them, but you will not find many, if any, these days. I hope that helps.
What do you think? Answer below!
90% SILVER - $3 FACE USA COINS LOT - HALF DOLLARS QUARTERS DIMES + BONUS RUBY
