Re: “But on the whole, they’re worth their silver weight.”
Fair enough. I bought silver rounds for pretty much the same reason: No interest in being a coin collector, but plenty of interest in owning silver. When I want to trade with someone... perhaps for a TEOTWAWKI meal... I shouldn't have to dicker over the value of my metal. It's worth the spot price of silver, no more, no less.

Perhaps I flatter myself in thinking that I have better things to do with my limited minutes on Earth than marketing individual silver coins to suckers, one by one. A quick look at the Blue Book will tell anyone what any non-dead person will know. Some may be worth more, but I have been a CPA by trade, and conservatism is our code. They mostly just aren’t unique, and therefore not collectably valuable. You will be selling to someone who has to sell to someone else, and everyone has to make a profit, so selling above melt for middling silver coins is not much of a thing, as far as I know. I picked out a nice 1891 Morgan minted in Carson City- that’s worth more than melt. A few others. But on the whole, they’re worth their silver weight.
