[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2315858, member: 76863"]I would spend them and be done with it for sure. I guess shops could get that value maybe, I don't see any demand in the shops or shows I visit. Lets put this another way, you have a 1000 1c proof and 1000 5c nickel proof. You put them in 2x2s that cost 2c. You've now spent 40 dollars on 60 dollars face value. That's 2/3rds of face value invested in 2x2s alone and we haven't even scratched the cost of labor. This doesnt even begin to account for the initial investment so now you HAVE LOST MONEY on their purchase unless it was for face. Now say you spend hours and hours getting them ready, how often to they actually sell? You're probably lucky to make 30 dollars at the end of the year if you even broke even before the cost of labor depending on your market. Businesses just flat out cant survive like this. Its not a wasteful or not generation its just simple economics and business models. If you're spending hours a day prepping things you MAY make a dime off of, save your money and close up shop right now because it will not last in all honesty.[/QUOTE]
