<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1675107, member: 28199&quot;]Probably just the shops, the money today is in buying/selling gold and silver for these local shops.&nbsp; The collector base is just not there but plenty of people are willing to sell their scrap PM, and these places usually offer (and get) low purchase prices for this stuff.&nbsp; I do have a couple problems with your post.&nbsp; One, you state the shop had no foreign coins or liberty nickels, yet you say after the silver seller left, the IHCs were gone &quot;<span style="color: #000000">but the buffs and libertys were laying right there on the counter&quot;.&nbsp; So which is it?&nbsp; &nbsp; The fact that she didn&#039;t let you look through the bag could indeed, be the store policy.&nbsp; If they make their money buying/selling precious metals, there is little to be made by selling individual, low-priced coins.&nbsp; So they only sell &#039;em in bulk.&nbsp; That&#039;s their prerogative.&nbsp; As far as letting you look at what the other just brought in, she may have had to change an inventory to reflect the loss of the IHCs (which I&#039;m guessing he swapped for the silver) and the addition of the new silver, she may not have been ready to sell them.&nbsp; Since he bought them in bulk (the IHCs) and you just wanted to browse, he got them.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
