<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gboulton, post: 1263037, member: 27043&quot;]Lots of different places...kinda depends on most of the same things as above...the current silver market, the local community, that sort of thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some may sell to smelters or other refineries, who are actually melting the coins and extracting the silver.&nbsp; You could certainly sell to them, but many will have minimum amounts well above what most of us might have on hand.&nbsp; Certainly wouldn&#039;t hurt to look though.&nbsp; A simple google search for &quot;silver smelters&quot; produces <a href="http://midwestrefineries.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://midwestrefineries.com/" rel="nofollow">http://midwestrefineries.com/</a> as the very first link, and they advertise 90% of silver value, no minimum.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have NO idea who they are, so no clue if they&#039;re reliable, or how you ship to them, or whatever...DYODD of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other dealers simply speculate short term, and try to buy low and sell high.&nbsp; All they&#039;re looking to do is make a few bucks off of buying and selling from the public.&nbsp; No reason you can&#039;t do the same on e-bay, craigslist, or whatever.&nbsp; Of course, remember that you&#039;ll pay various seller fees, shipping, gasoline to drive, whatever, and you&#039;ll have to avoid the eager beavers who like to report/flag/delete posts or auctions they don&#039;t like.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s even some dealers who simply use their shop as a means to buy silver at well below melt, and hoard it for their own personal use.&nbsp; Obviously, you could do that as well, if you so chose. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure there&#039;s other paths junk silver takes, and some of the dealers here might be able to provide more specifics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said all that...I&#039;ve usually found it&#039;s simplest and quickest to simply call a couple dealers, ask what they&#039;re paying for junk silver, and head to the one paying the most.&nbsp; Right now, unless you&#039;re talking about $100 face value or more, I&#039;d look to get between 24 (about 80%) and 27 (about 90%) times face value right now. Much below that, and you can probably do better with just a bit of effort.&nbsp; Much above that, take it and run. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Outside of that, if you have the time and feel like hustling a bit, ask around at a few gun/safe shops, outdoor survivalist type places, that sort of thing.&nbsp; You&#039;ll frequently find businesses/owners/customers who&#039;ll buy at a bit higher price than the local shop, but you should probably plan on haggling, being a man of your word, and keeping your mouth shut in general. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
