How is this for a buy?

Genuinely curious, I am about to buy 36 90% halves @ 6 each, for each of the 36 for a total of $210. Is this a bargain, or kinda risky?

Melt is $6.07 each today, so I'd say that it's a good buy if you want some silver.

 

Kirkuleez beat me to it. Decent buy for precious metal. I remember when I first started getting into 90% halves, they were 11+ dollars per coin at my local shops. Of course silver was twice as high though.

 

How did you arrive at 210?

 

At $6 each that's a good deal, but w/o seeing them I would imagine they are junk Ag with no numismatic value...welcome to CT.

 

Well, we took $6 each x 36 coins = $216, and for an even number, took it to $210. They also threw in 2 Ben Franks for free.

 

If you want to start a collection, you could buy 2 or 3 MS graded Walkers for the same money. Good luck.

 

38 halves for $210...grab 'em up!

 

Honestly they had them in 2 rolls, and they are looking like only 3 or 4 or Ag, and the rest looked pretty good, I even seen about 6 BU

 

When I said Ag I meant silver...good luck.

 

Oh, I thought you meant average to good. Nah they are definitely all shiners, I don't really know the line between average and junk, but they are definitely over the line. Only one is really oxidized.

 

FYI...the chemical symbol for silver is Ag.

Are you buying them from a reputable coin shop or dealer?

 

Thanks, I am aware haha wasn't sure of the terminology, I thought you meant grading, they were obviously silver, that's why I assumed that.

 

From a friend in a family crisis, they were their grandpa's

 

In that case, it's always a good deal when you can help a friend. I don't know what your finances are like, but I'd give the nicest one back to them as a keepsake from their grandfather.

 

Very good idea...and they thought all of us beer lovers were rude and crude! BUUUURP!

 

That is a sad to hear your friend has a family crisis. I would pay a little extra just to help them out.

 

Doesn't EVERYONE know that...

 

Apparently not.
