<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silverbullion, post: 2132522, member: 57234&quot;]Yes, I&#039;ve given South Africa a mention for perspective. What are dealers willing to pay for &#039;junk silver&#039; in the States versus American Silver Eagles?</p><p><br /></p><p>I previously owned &#039;junk silver&#039; from the States (dimes and what have you), South Africa (the pieces you mentioned) and even of Great Britain. I have always tried to maintain a balance between at spot or close to spot pieces and coins with numismatic value. My latest plan is to buy mostly ASE bullion coins and the balance in Kruger 1 Pond gold coins. However, if I see something else that I really like, I will definitely buy it if I can afford to do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>The mines are hurting at the moment on the back of lower commodity prices, including gold mines, but it is not all bad, especially considering that many of them earn foreign currency in the form of USD. I mean a dollar can buy 12 ZAR today, while there was a time in history when 1 ZAR could buy 2 USD. That was however a very long time ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never really sold Brittania bullion coins to local dealers, but they will most likely buy those at spot or just North of it if you&#039;re a nice guy. Otherwise they will most likely pay less than spot for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
