<p>[QUOTE="fatima, post: 1172385, member: 22143"]If you are going to buy small amounts, I would hold off until you can get to a local coin show. It's very common to find small ziplock bags of junk silver coins for sell for decent prices. Before you go, do some calculations against current pricing to get an idea of how many times face value you should pay. Dimes, Quarters and 1/2s are all proportional so you will have the same basic multiplier for each. Mixed bags will cost a little less than the sorted ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don't forget to look for cleaned and/or very common Morgans, though I have noticed that lately bowls of these are not as common at the shows. </p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise if you are going to deal in weight, it's best to deal in grams (so know this conversion). The absolute best pricing you will get for junk silver, is to buy an entire bag, 1000 oz, but this does mean dropping a considerable amount of money. Anything less than this and you are paying someone to split the bag and repackage it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
