[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2498865, member: 77814"]Wish I knew more before I sold my AGE & APE proofs, and bi-metal years ago. Had to sell them for money so took them to a high end numismatic place nearby (the best place in the area actually). They gave me melt basically. Since then I don't want to deal with Proofs until I know more. In a down market when there are more ppl selling than buying you end up taking what you are offered. As I was selling them to them I asked how much it would cost to buy them back. The Bi-metal was 2x what I was getting, and the Proofs were higher too. I guess that's all part of the equation of a Retail store. It's fun when it's a hobby. But when you need to covert it to cash "no matter what" then you feel the sting. Luckily I got the AGEs & APEs when they first came out. So I didn't lose money in melt value but still ... luckily I still have some of my ASE tubes as silver was about $7-11 and ounce and it wasn't much cash to convert compared to AGE and APEs.[/QUOTE]
