    A silver quarter is worth $5.50 in bullion value right now, so sure.

    sure the BU ones are a good start to your collection.

    As long they are all 1964 and earlier, I would give $5 all day long.

    Sounds fair to me but I would suggest only buying them if you want them, if your just buying them because there a good deal, then don't because while $5 a peice is pretty good, it's not hard to find them at that price

    Go on. I, and I'm sure lots of others, would love to know the "not hard" technique for finding silver at 10% below melt. (Having a B&M storefront where uninformed people bring coins to sell doesn't count as "not hard".)

    I find silver at 10% or even 20% below melt on occasion, but it takes a good bit of searching, good timing, and luck.

    I can go to my coin store tomorrow and pay exactly spot for BU Franklins and other 90% coins such as washingtons, mercury, rossies, kennedys etc. Also at flea markets I can pay below spot quite a lot of the time. So there you have it unless thats "Not hard" enough for you.

    Really? The flea markets I've checked out seemed to have about a 30-40% markup from spot. Sounds like you've found a great opportunity; enjoy it and take advantage of it.

    I think thats a good price. Most places charge more because they add numismatic value on top of the silver price.
