Went to WESPNEX over the weekend, picked up a few items, and noticed a few things: 1: THere were more ATB 5 coin sets for sale than there were graded Trade Dollars (I was looking for a mid-hundreds example, did not find any. They were all going for four figures plus). 2: A number of dealers asked "ask", and were not willing to go lower for some Peace dollars I wanted. Logic being (in their words), at the rate silver is going up, they will get more than ask soon. Do they really expect silver to go that high? 3: There were many dealers who had signs up "minimum for coins is melt". I did manage to find some foreign silver for melt or under, but I only looked at what I wanted anyway for the coins. 4: I got 27.5X for junk silver and 10X for 40%. It is already higher. Pics: Three one Franc coins & one five Franc, paid 24$ for the bunch. Love Swiss coins in general. A Seated Half AG-G - Bought with an IHC for 18$ Two three pence coins from the 1890's, including the "Jubilee Crown" (which I am working on on the side, since I have the Crown already)
