<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 301756, member: 8843&quot;]Ok, I&#039;m confused.&nbsp; And yes, I realize the difference between buying a coin from a coin dealer vs selling and completely respect their right to make a profit as they have overhead, risk, inventory etc.&nbsp; This is not a &#039;bad coin dealer&#039; thread.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a question about something I&#039;ve witnessed it a few different coin shops and all dealers seem to do the same thing so either *I* am not getting it the point of it or there seems to be a private agreement, universal handshake.&nbsp; So I&#039;d appreciate some input and feedback.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve sat quietly and watched other customers come into sell coins that are sterling silver and there is always this big &#039;Oh, this is .925 sterling&#039; and then the coins are purchased by &#039;grams&#039; instead of troy ounces and in the end, the purchase is less than if it had been .90 silver - yet I would think it&#039;d be comparitively more as there is .025 more silver.&nbsp; Not huge, but enough to make me wonder. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I understand a lot of the big picture; I realize old worn 90% coins are melted, the &#039;big spot price&#039; for silver is based on massive amounts not one or two coins for sell.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t get the point where .925 would bring less.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So help me out, please.&nbsp; What am I missing or misunderstanding?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks everyone ~</p><p>CoinGal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
