Best place to sell 90% silver coins
 

I rencetly aquired about $50 in US 90% silver coinage. Where would you guys sell this stuff? I'd rather have name brand silver bars - you get a better % when you sell. I already a have a good number of bars, but I want to convert my 90% to bars by selling or trading.

You have to call around to the local and some farther away dealers to find the best price. Its hard to find a reputiable dealer!!! I recenty traded a lot of walkers into American Eagles. I came out pretty good. Also you need to tell them that you want to trade. They may be a little nicer if your trading.

Keep in mind Dealers take off wear for coins. 71.5% =$1face

So you have $50

50 Times .715 = 35.75oz

so take that number times spot silver and you should get close to that

What exactly do you have sir?

If all you have is 50 bucks worth why bother?

I have collected coins for years - there are no coins of numismatic value here. There are a couple rolls of silver washington quarters, most are late 50s or 60s, but a few older ones well circulated and no rarer dates like 32 D or S. A few common date well circulated walker halves, and a bunch of circulated Benjamin halves. A few 64 Kennedys. About 3 rolls of dimes, all Roosevelts, except about a half roll of well circulated common date Mercury dimes - no overdates (no 41/42, etc.). The total is about $50 face value. The value is in the silver only.

or trade it to me for some silver bars.

PM me if you'd like.

**You could sell it on Ebay (spruce up the wording a bit...and you'll get over spot for mixed rolls....)

**Send it in to any internet dealer...(apmex is reputable...)

**Where have you been picking up your coins that you collect? Any local dealer should take it off your hands.

**Bring it with you to your next local gun show.

**Bury it off in the woods somewhere, wrapped up tight (PVC?), make up a treasure map...and forget about it. Then when silver hits $250/oz you dig it up and laugh like hell at how stupid you felt burying it...but how smart you feel now!!!!:D

for $50 in face, it is just as easy to find a local dealer and get rid of it; be prepared to not get anywhere close to spot for it; not sure about a trade, they might be willing to give you a better deal in a trade situation.

it does seem that on ebay, it usually goes for spot or even a little extra, but I have seen it go for less too, but ebay is a hassle. Places like CNI and Apmex seem willing to pay a fair price, but that invvolves packaging it up, shipping, and I am not sure if those guys have minimum amounts or not??

getting spot price (or even something close) out of 90% requires a little more legwork than .999. it does seem that people here are willing to give you a fair price,but once again, that involves shipping/packaging, etc

Belive it or not there are reputiable coin dealers out there. All it takes is doing a little calling and telling them what you have and what you want. Thats what i did. Most gave me crappy prices but then i found a guy 30mins away. He treated me really really good and i came out with way more Eagles then i thought i would!!!

Just take a little time and call. Trust me

Re: Best place to sell 90% silver coins
 

The coins came from the estate of a friend of my mother in law.

Yeah, ebay is a possibility.

I have a local dealer who is a friend - I am sure he will give me a fair shake, but he wants to make a good profit, too.

I'm not a gun enthusiast, and I have enough guns already (a few).

They'll probably end up on ebay or with my friend the dealer...

Thanks for your thoughts.

In a sense using them as tip money or gifts is doing more for promoting the interest.

Sell silver, spread the silver.:D
