<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1599945, member: 41863"]Ive been using the trades section and for sale section here on CT to upgrade my collection. Its worked best for me to wait until you see the for sale ads that say make offer or open to trades as it seems the for sale section has better coins available than the trades section. I recently picked up 3 new coins that I wouldnt have been able to obtain without trading as I didnt have the money at the time. Now we are both happy, they got $XXX.XX in bullion and junk silver from me and I got 3 coins, one of which has turned into one of my new favorites. </p><p><br /></p><p>Point is, sometimes you dont need to sell everything to get what you want, there are plenty of collectors and dealers up here who are just as willing to trade for what you need. Plus in your situation especially with the silver you have a small edge. Numismatic grading and pricing is very subjective, whereas silver price has trended up for awhile now, so trading bullion for 'nicer' coins has mostly worked well for both parties without losing money in selling and fees and too much time involved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
