Message:: [QUOTE="quarter-back, post: 1972200, member: 47022"]Yeah, actually I do. That is the deal I made a long time ago.  I can search their junk silver, circulated nickels and cents, and foreign stuff.  Silver I buy at spot rounded up to the next dime. Nickels and cents I get for whatever he charges for the "you-pick-box" on the counter (e.g., 0.40 cents for a circulated buffalo nickel). I can take anything I want in terms of varieties or even semi-keys, but for the really high end coins, I point them out to the owner. The owner lets me know whether or not I can buy them at spot. If not, he may offer it to me for a small fraction of the true value or he may just want it to sell. I have found an 1918/7 SLQ and and a pretty decent 1932D quarter that he wanted to keep for sale.  On the other hand, I got my 1942/41D dime for $50.  Doubled dies (other than the '55, 69S and 72 cents, none of which I have ever found) and RPM's he has no interest in, so I get them for spot (or the non-silver equivalent.) This works well for both. I find him coins that otherwise would gone out the door as bulk silver. Over the years, he has made thousands on the coins I pulled.  On my end, I have access to thousands of coins to play with, and I get some beauties. I filled the silver Washington quarter date and mintmark set and didn't paid over spot for any of them[/QUOTE]
