<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 402817, member: 2949&quot;]This is not usually true (at least in my area).&nbsp; All of the dealers around me pay more than 50% of melt.&nbsp; Most of them pay somewhere in the range of 75-90% of melt for &quot;junk&quot; common coins.&nbsp; It just depends on who you go to.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, I know a guy who buys scrap silver and gold of all kinds, rings, bracelets, chains, etc.&nbsp; He still pays pretty good according to melt value, but he pays about 5% less or so than you might think he should.&nbsp; He&#039;s told me that this is because when he sends it to the smelter, he then gets a report of what&#039;s actually in the metal he had melted.&nbsp; He said a lot of times, junk chains, etc. will have maybe only 8k or 9k in them, while they are stamped as 10k.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard about this kind of thing on 20/20 or something before as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All that being said, I bet if you list your coins here for reasonable prices, someone will probably buy them up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
