<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 671128, member: 8033&quot;]Nothing wrong with being honest.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might consider contacting a few local dealers to see what they are paying on &quot;junk silver&quot; because that&#039;s what they will most likely pay for coins like Franklins unless they are high grade. That could be anywhere from 8-10X face value.</p><p>If they&#039;re paying 8x face for example and you have 150 Franklins you&#039;re talking $600.</p><p><br /></p><p>What other silver do they have? Apply the same formula to that. Wheat cents. Figure 2 or 3 cents each. Add it up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it over $1000? Are there better dates involved?</p><p>Run it by them. If you could get $1200 for the collection but were able to pull a few better coins for yourself in the process you&#039;d all benefit.</p><p>Your cousin gets better money and you get some coins for your efforts and it will require some effort.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sold a collection years ago for a 5% cut. Nicer stuff but it was a lot of work. I&#039;d never do it again for that rate. At least the guy realized how much effort I did put in it and gave me a few really nice coins as a &quot;bonus&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. as informative as Redbook is I would NOT use it as a basis for value. An average circulated Franklin is little more than &quot;junk silver&quot; in most cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
