<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1828091, member: 3726&quot;]I think now is the time for you and your father to spend some more time together.&nbsp; Honestly I believe if you were offered a 1.15 for 1872 IHC then that dealer was not very honest.&nbsp; At the same time some of these key day coins you might want to get graded - this gives you the opportunity to test your grading skills against the TPC.&nbsp; Some of these will sell quicker that way.&nbsp; Sounds like a few of them are worth the investment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can tell you how my LCS works - they always offer back of melt.&nbsp; But it is a fixed price - just like if they sell.&nbsp; Last time I asked it was they sell at melt + $1.50 and believe they were buying the same way.&nbsp; Now I know they offer good prices because one person in the store was selling something like 10 to 15 100oz bars of silver.&nbsp; He told me where I could buy a few cents cheaper and my LCS pays better than the other shop. Of course I can&#039;t afford that much silver.&nbsp; But he routinely buys at one shop and sells at my LCS.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now if you take in a bag of Wheaties they will not sort them, but will pay like 3 cents each for them.&nbsp; Now if you have something special you might want to pull it out.&nbsp; Now when I go down I never take everything at once when selling - so if I have 20 to 30 coins I might only take 10.&nbsp; Then reason being, if they are busy I might not get as much attention - plus the owner usually offers a little more when he is in. They look at them, get a grade then make me an offer based off grey sheet.&nbsp; On only 1 or 2 coins did I really disagree with - but one was a bad buy on my part.&nbsp; The offers have always been fair.&nbsp; I know you want to sell them all at once, but it might be better to take your time when selling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would say - don&#039;t be in a rush to sell. Take your time and do it right.&nbsp; If they were graded coins I could make some other recommendations, but raw is always a toss up.&nbsp;&nbsp; And I really can&#039;t say without seeing some of the coins on what is fair offers. Just my humble opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
