<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 26216489, member: 3726"]My experience with my local shop. I once sold buckets of silver coins at the local shop. Basically they told me set aside any key dates or mint marks. Other wise it would be just spot price. Now all of the stuff I had was from fire. Coins had to be identifiable - as franklin or peace dollar. You bring in a 1000 half dollars they will not search them just run thru a machine and make you an offer. Now if you brought in like 10 they might look thru them. My case we literally had 4 to 6 five gallon buckets of coins - all low grade common dates. We had very few morgans - maybe 20 to 30 and all were common date low grades. We did look first. So basically everything got spot price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for my IHC dansco album and my liberty nickel albums. They reviewed all the coins both albums - did not break out prices. So something like a key date 1877 they will look at no mater what. Same with 85 and 86 liberty nickel. But with low grades common dates they just make an offer - seems to me it was not much on IHC and Liberty nickels. In my case I had albums and most coins were xf to au.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically if you bring in a hoard they will not search it - so if you want real attention to something set it to the side. When I took in a bag of Lincoln cents - they basically just ran it thru a machine, counted the coins and offered 3 cents coin. I even asked what they did with them - they told me they just fill a bag with like 3000 cents and sell it on dealer network. That is my local shop and just my experiences not sure how yours will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
