<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dougmeister, post: 1984596, member: 56842&quot;]I have acquired a few rolls of 40% Kennedy halves. I am saving a few to barter with members here and other forums, but am considering selling the others locally. Since I&#039;m relatively new at this, I wanted to pose a few questions to the experts here.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) If the U.S. economy goes &quot;bust&quot; and people are able to use bullion and silver U.S. coins, will 40% silver coins be as accepted as 90% coins or not? I&#039;ve read both &#039;yes&#039; and &#039;no&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) If selling on Craigslist (I know, I know...), best tips so far are:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a) Don&#039;t use your home phone, real name, or maybe even real cell number </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (anything that could allow the buyer to know where you live).</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b) Meet in a public place (bank?)</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c) Don&#039;t sell large quantities at any one time to any one person</p><p><br /></p><p>3) I have the Cherrypicker&#039;s Guide, but having looked through almost a hundred of these coins over the past year and have yet to find *any* DDO/DDR specimens. Which are the most prevalent, which should I really be looking for, etc.?</p><p><br /></p><p>4) I can sell to a local coin shop but he will pay less than melt. Back when silver was&nbsp; a bit higher and melt was around $3 or so, he was paying $2.50 per half. This is not a good deal unless I don&#039;t want the hassle of Craigslist or eBay/CT and having to pay shipping, etc... Right?</p><p><br /></p><p>5) I posted an ad last week offering 40% halves for $3 each or $55 per roll of 20. Reasonable price or not? (Melt value today is $2.75)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
