[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 33258, member: 1258"]Here is how I would come up with the offer. This is just my opinion: The silver coins I would figure at bullion value (6.50 as a round figure. The market closed on Friday at 6.89 with a low of 6.57). The figures below reflect the amount of silver in each coin: Dimes: 500x.47 = 235.00 Quarters: 200x1.18 = 236.00 Half Dollars: 100x2.35 = 235.00 Silver Nickels: ???x.36 = _________ Buffalo Nickels: Check for earlier dates and offer .50 each for 1927 or newer except for the 1931S (minimum $10.00 if G4, if higher, offer depends on condition).
