wags here- with a question for the general bullion buying population-
I know about almost all the apects and pros and cons of 40% halves and war nickels, how they have heretofore sold below melt due to the difficulty in smelting, refining, etc-
My question is, will we ever see 40% and warnickels sell for straight melt? I use 90% as an example- Before 2013, lots of investors sniffed at it and thought that it would last forever- then it was revealed that supplies are actually limited, and the premium skyrocketed (relative to the usual premium for it).
They're not making any more 90%....but theyre also not making any more 40% or warnix, so I was wondering if anyone thinks we will ever get to the point where people buy and sell them at straight spot, without the usual percent under melt-
Maybe we're already there? I dunno, I havent dealt with 40% or warnix in a while for the above reasons

Will it take some sort of wake-up call where somebody has trouble getting a bag of either that sets off a frenzy?
