<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alucard86, post: 2652149, member: 71849&quot;]Update:</p><p><br /></p><p>So I called around today (About 5 local shops within 25 miles) when silver was at 18.08. I&#039;m only going to list the 2 shops that offered a semi-decent total offering. All other shops was just a slap in the face IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>So this is what I&#039;m using to either trade for or use the cash value offered to buy better liquid silver or gold assets i.e. 1oz ASE, 1oz silver rounds, AGE etc.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Melt Value</b>:</p><ul> <li>40% Kennedy&#039;s (228 coins) $610.02</li> <li>40% Eisenhower Loose (60 coins) $343.01</li> <li>War Nickels (401 coins) $408.41</li> <li>Blue Ikes (complete - 10 total) $57.20</li> <li>Brown ikes (complete - 6 total) $34.06</li> <li>1973 Brown Ike (complete) $5.68</li> <li>50% CAD Dimes (50 coins) $33.92</li> <li>50% CAD Quarters (108 coins) $183.06</li> </ul><p><u>Total value</u>: <b>$1,675.66 @ 18.08 an oz</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Shop 1</b>: *has lots of silver rounds and ASE/Maple Leafs (out of gold coins/bars)</p><ul> <li>40% Kennedy&#039;s $484.50 (4.25 x Face)<br /> </li> <li>40% Eisenhower loose $285.00 (4.75 x Face)<br /> </li> <li>War Nickels $260.65 (0.65c each; sells for 0.85c each)</li> <li>Blue Ikes $72.50</li> <li>Brown Ikes $48.00</li> <li>1973 Brown Ike $24.00</li> <li>50% CAD Dimes $23.50 (4.70 x Face)<br /> </li> <li>50% CAD Quarters $126.90 (4.70 x Face)</li> </ul><p><u>Total value offered</u>: <b>$1,325.05</b></p><p><u>Net Lost of Melt</u>: <b>-$350.61</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Shop 2</b>: *Plenty of AGE, Maple Leafs, Bars (but barely any silver left in shop)</p><ul> <li>40% Kennedy&#039;s $513.00 (4.5 x Face)<br /> </li> <li>40% Eisenhower loose $270.00 (4.5 x Face)</li> <li>War Nickels $240.60 (0.60c each)</li> <li>Blue Ikes $55.00</li> <li>Brown Ikes $33.00</li> <li>1973 Brown Ike $17.00</li> <li>50% CAD Dimes &amp; Quarters Total $128.00</li> </ul><p><u>Total value offered</u>: <b>$1,256.00</b></p><p><u>Net Lost of Melt</u>: <b>-$419.66</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>My question is based on the items and amount offered for each set should I go with a shop in particular, just go to the smelter myself (I&#039;ll have to call a few), just go to eBay myself with individual lots, or hold on for future trade/sell out (if silver continues to go up)? I value everyone&#039;s opinions and insights. Thanks for looking and offering replies![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
