[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 33254, member: 705"]Well I'm not an expert but here is what I did when I bought part of a hoard... Here is what I would pay: $0.25 per silver dime $1.00 per silver quarter $2.00 per silver half $0.25 per nickel (maybe a little more if the Buffs have dates) $0.03 per cent $8.00-$9.00 per silver dollar. (this is about what I've seen dealers offer) When you offer make sure you offer a little lower than your total--the guy that I bought from is a builder and had just hoarded all kinds of coins and knew nothing about them at all...I looked through and picked out what I wanted and made an offer..he counter-offered and I said fine...I still got the coins at about 50% of what I would have had to pay today...to this day he says I got too good of a deal...I just tell him he made the last offer I just took it ;) If there are better date coins I would look in an old red-book (2002-2003) and go by that price...that is about what graysheet is sometimes. Speedy One tip---don't look at dates and mint marks if you can buy them all! ;) I couldn't buy the whole lot of coins that I looked through because it would have been $1,000.00+ and that was only a little part of the real hoard...no gold and he didn't bring the 100 ounce bar of silver I saw him buy (when silver was $4.00 a ounce) :eek:[/QUOTE]
