Went to the 30 minute drive local coin shop today to sell about 10 40% silver Kennedy Halves and a roll and a half of silver dimes found while roll hunting. At first the girl helping me handed back the Bi and said that it didn't have silver, So I replied with. "You might want to check again." And pointed out the mint mark and the fact the the edge was completely silver. She went and confirmed it with her dad, (owner of the shop.) And he confirmed so she wrote it up in the total. Once everything was totaled she gave me a quote and I accepted. After she handed me the money her father looked at the paper she wrote it all down on and seen she listed the Bi at 90% silver. Long story short, they still gave it to me at that and ended up getting most of it back in the Newp's that I had made. Note: also got a free quarter container, the square white one.
LOL,(actually did.) I have to be careful sometimes when I sell to them they once offered me 30 for a 10th ounce of Palladium. Looked at the guy and said "For Palladium?" He did a double take at the coin an apologized and recalculated.
Makes me tempted to sell at the show tomorrow -- today dealers were offering 20x face for 90% (other dealers were selling at 21.25x face). But I'm still thinking it's time to be buying more than selling, and that I'll be able to get more later in the year. We'll see. But, no, nobody was offering 18.5x face for 40%.
What'd he think it was?? Silver? If so, I'd offer $3 rather than $30. Some times you just gotta think....
