<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1347138, member: 27832&quot;]I went over to the <a href="http://www.ncnaonline.org/showschedule.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ncnaonline.org/showschedule.html" rel="nofollow">Raleigh Coin &amp; Stamp Show</a> at the NC State Fairgrounds this morning. Seemed pretty busy -- nearly every spot was full, probably several dozen dealers, with lots of attendees both buying and selling. Dealers were offering 19-20x FV for 90% silver, and the ones I asked were selling at 21-21.5x FV. I asked at one place (&quot;we pay STRONG prices for gold!&quot;) what they were offering for modern $5 gold commems; he said they were paying $5 back of melt, specifically $392 to buy, and selling at $400. I was impressed -- that&#039;s a pretty narrow spread, and a bit stronger offer than I was expecting. I&#039;m still thinking that this isn&#039;t the time to sell, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re within a convenient drive, it&#039;s definitely worth checking out. (It runs 10 to 3 Sunday.) Allow some extra time, though -- there&#039;s a lot scheduled this weekend, including the gun and knife show, and traffic was pretty heavy by the time I left (around noon).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
