I would point out what dealers and B&Ms usually offer for junk silver, like 23 times face, or 25 times face, whatever dealers are currently offering for junk silver. By saying "Don't accept anything less", is giving the impression that they always need to sell at a premium over spot, and we all know that is not true all of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would word it like this: <span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">I also don't like this either: </span>How many dealers, or B&Ms use the pricing on coinflation.com for their buy price for junk silver, in your area?
