I was wondering what people over at the "buy it now" forum were paying for 64 kennedy halves?

i'll buy some for $5 each

pshh...ill give you 8

Since it's a serious question I'll give you a real answer.

Of course you could look through recent past BINs to see what the most recent have been offered at. (Doesn't necessarily mean they sold for that, but usually close.)

64 JFKs in AU or BU shape usually bring at least spot melt, plus or minus. coinflation.com will tell you current melt of each coin, if you aren't used to calculating it from spot price.

64 BU Kennedy's are trading between 29 times face----$290 the roll of 20 ----to 32 times face, $320 a roll....these are for brilliant uncirculated's, THIS second.

there were a lot more 64's offered about a year ago, they've kind of dried up.

a lot of 65-71 40% rolls are being offered...try not to pay too much above melt...it wont be a bad coin for trading in the future, the coin has .15 tOz of silver, so just say its a 'fifth of an ounce' when trading....if somebody asks since when, you say, 'since now, trade or no trade?'

I'm finding very few 90% when I bank roll search. Ratio is probably between 13:1 and 14:1 forties to nineties.

Hmmm Neil - last I recall, .15 wasn't a fifth...

He's using Thogey "fuzzy logic." First, you must drink a fifth of your favorite beverage. Then it begins to make more sense. A fifth equals .15... if you're talking blood alcohol

i'm just rounding up for trading purposes. by the by, there's a trader offering up rolls of 64 Ken's at Ebay, high open bid, 309, but maybe guys'll stay away......he's also got BIN's on 64 Kennedy's and Franklins that are doable, 321-329.

How did I get dragged into this, you old fart!

You are last one to criticize my math skills.

Everyone knows 1/5 is 750ml or .25!?

Correct me if I am wrong. The post was about 1964 Kennedy Halves which weigh .36 ASW minus wear. I figure 3 of these make an oz.

Also don't the 40% kennedies have .18 ASW minus wear? I generally say 6-7 of these make an ounce

thats why we call it trading; coz in a 20 mile radius around me, grid down, 2 90% Halves make an ounce, and 5 40's make an ounce......the way i see is this, that "missing" .28 in the 2 90's and the missing .25 in the 5 40's...thats my profit, thats the cost for me maintaining "bank" when everyone else was asleep, racking up credit card debt, or buying crap, or just even buying into the whole system of consume consume consume.....and infinite "growth".

We are in for a MASSIVE paradigm shift....i know you're ready, but i really believe its high time metal guys got together and started really gaming out, how this transition TRADES....i'm not talking trading among each other...we know ASW content, i'm talking about how we price out hard money in a real world enviroment, grid down.

My 2 cents...

I think basically, eventually, there would just be recognized prices for 90% face. ASW content probably wouldn't get discussed so much, though there would be increased awareness of it, people would be aware that they would be getting shorted to receive slicks, and the smarter merchants would be selling by weight of 90% (effectively ASW, but people would be dealing in 90%).

40% would technically require 2.25x the price but would probably be slightly discounted (perhaps 2.5x, something to make the math easier), so a 40% half would be considered equivalent to 2 90% dimes.

Foreign coin would be handled on a case-by-case basis by ASW, unless enough of something (pesos, Cdn) came out of the woodwork to become commonly traded.

Bullion silver, in my mind, would generally remain uncirculated - would be used for large trades, stored value - and would not get handled day to day.

And striding in from off stage will come the nickel and the copper penny, hand in hand, to accept their princely crowns of honor and glory in the new economy.

0.36169 ounces of silver in one 90% half. If spot price for silver is 39.2 then 0.36169 X 39.2 = $14.18 which, in terms of dollars is the value of silver in one 90% half.
