<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1322490, member: 27832&quot;]I went to a show early last spring when prices were still spiking. Melt value of silver was right around 26.5x. One dealer was buying at 25.5x; when I went back in the afternoon with more to sell, he&#039;d upped it to 26x. I think he was selling at 27x. Of course, there was a guy over on the other side selling $10FV bags at 25x. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Last show I went to, I&#039;d been looking for a non-holed ex-jewelry Type 1 gold dollar to use as a hands-on exhibit (showing kids the smallest coins that used to circulate in the US). Cheapest I&#039;d ever found was around $120. Found someone who sold me two for $95 each, when melt was close to $85. Nice ones, too -- one with a clean obverse but damaged reverse, the other the opposite. I could easily flip them on eBay for $120-130 and turn a nice profit after fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, yeah, you can get good deals at a busy show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
