<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 394723, member: 8033&quot;]Well said JeanKay.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really see my share of seniors cashing in coins these days. I hate it every time honestly - especially when it&#039;s stuff like circulated Ikes and Bicentennials. I hand these back as spendable or we buy them at face so they don&#039;t have to carry them around.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is really no market for those from a dealers view folks, believe me. We recently dumped $600 worth of BiCentennial quarters at the bank for face value. We do this as a favor basically.</p><p><br /></p><p>My boss is going to be 65 next week as it is. He&#039;s been a shop owver for 40 years and I&#039;m sure it bothers him even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>We buy the silver coins, wheats, class rings from the 30s, pocket watches, crap they bought on TV, and the list goes on.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are a business after all and if we don&#039;t buy it someone else will and probably at a much lower rate. </p><p>What got me into the shop in the FIRST place was buying supplies so I could sell to make ends meet. This at the ripe old age of 46!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone that thinks the economy is fine right now should spend a few hours in a shop. It&#039;s VERY sobering believe me.</p><p>I&#039;ll guarantee the boss spent over $10,000 today on walk ins. Tomorrow he&#039;ll be conectrating on moving big lots wholesale so he can buy more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Crazy folks and a seemingly never ending cycle right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
