Not sure why we didn't have one yet. There certainly are lots of discussions popping up.
I'm going to post links that I keep going to Google for.
What is your favorite online price chart? I don't know if I really love any, since I use an ancient iPad. These are ok I guess.

You can go to the side for Canadians or the side to shop from the US.

Silver melt value?
Are you melting silver some how?
Scrap collection?
Gotta be for industrial users.
Out of interest, silver maples, buffaloes etc were selling for $60 an once here recently, I guess there was some wait time from dealers.

I buy in bulk. The most common years in the best condition. That would be US 1964's are a great example. Canadian 1967's. Most of the time they are in the junk bucket for melt or just over melt. Bright and shinny.

cdn after 1919 is .800
so ur better off with american, they are ,900.
prior to 1920 cdn is sterling. .925
I bought some "junk" long ago, I settled on bullion coins, I actually dont buy silver any more, its too heavy and takes too much space so I stick to gold.
I paid about $1 a gram at the time.
I guess you could say I made money on 5 cent pcs, I bought them because they are 1 gram, think I paid 50 cents to a dollar, prolly 50 cents because I bought hundreds at a time.
In any case, now they sell for about $5 + each depending on date.
Cant say there was any profit in anything else.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_quarter#Silver_strikings_(1932%E2%80%931964)In 1964, there was a severe shortage of coins.[31] Silver prices were rising, and the public responded by hoarding not only the wildly popular new coin, the Kennedy half dollar, but the other denominations, including the non-silver cent and nickel.[32] Hopeful that issuing more 1964-dated coins would counter the speculation in them, the Treasury obtained Congressional authorization to continue striking 1964-dated coins into 1965.[33]
The Mint's production of coins rapidly depleted the Treasury's stock of silver. Prices for the metal were rising to such an extent that, by early June 1965, a dollar in silver coin contained 93.3 cents' worth of it at market prices. On June 3, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson announced plans to eliminate silver from the dime and quarter in favor of a clad composition, with layers of copper-nickel on each side of a layer of pure copper. The half dollar was changed from 90% silver to 40%.[34] Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1965 in July, under which the Mint transitioned from striking 1964-dated silver quarters to striking 1965-dated clad quarters.[35] Beginning on August 1, 1966, the Mint began to strike 1966-dated pieces, and thereafter it resumed the normal practice of striking the current year's date on each piece.[36]
The new clad quarters were struck without mint mark in 1965–1967, regardless of the mint of origin. Beginning in 1968, mint marks were used again, except that Philadelphia continued to issue coins without them. The San Francisco Mint had reopened, but from 1968, it struck quarters only for collectors, for the most part proof coins.[37] The Mint adjusted both sides of the coin for the initiation of clad coinage, lowering the relief (the modified reverse design exists on some 1964-dated silver quarters). The obverse was slightly changed in 1974, with some details sharpened.[38] Mint marks on post-1967 pieces are found on the lower right of the obverse, to the right of Washington's neck.[39]
