Rochester? I love the area, but I have not done any shows up there.
For those of you that like chasing down the various varieties, here is the obverse of the 1837 Token.
This 1837 Hard Times Token is by far my personal favorite. This reverse is used on many tokens of the era, it reflects the views of many Americans...
The odd denominations are by far and away one of my favorites. They rank right there with the fractional gold. I hope that more collectors will...
85%? So why aren't you working for me? :D For those really close coins like your Washington, we walk through at the shows. Sometimes if you...
I thought I would add a couple of little beauties. 1827 Dime 1831 Half Dime

The other member is looking to become a silver bullion dealer. Becoming a dealer requires buying in quantity to insure profits. Once a certain...
Sounds like a great dealer.
We move a lot of silver. All of it in the form of one ounce eagles or 90% bags. Our buy price doesn't change. It is bought at a small percentage...
I love the VAM variety, but more often than not, most collectors cannot spot the difference. Unless the rarity is 5 or better, I won't even mark...
That is my point exactly. If you were to buy from this dealer, you would not get sell offers at $5.75 Now if you walked in and bought 500 ounces,...
I didn't say that any dealer isn't happy to sell a single ounce, but not at melt or below. For that kind of discount, large volume is needed.
