[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 1478942, member: 20201"]If those semi key - key dates are truly in G4 condition, you should not buy them at Redbook prices. Friend or not, you can buy any of those coins in G4 elsewhere at considerably lower than Redbook prices. First of all the coins need to be accurately graded, not by PCGS or NGC or ANACS but by yourself. Then you need to offer something at about half or higher the Redbook levels that your conscience will allow you to feel OK about. The rest of the coins should be bought at bullion if you know they are all common less 15% of the current spot value of a 90% silver dime. You will be giving the friend a better price than any dealer would and you will be able to sleep at night if you do the right thing. Put yourself in his position and see how things would be if you take those same coins tomorrow and try to sell them at a coin shop once they are yours. You certainly won't get Redbook prices, would you? Not on eBay or elsewhere either.[/QUOTE]
