I really think people are crazy for selling Silver Dollars and Bullion at auctions. Lately Silver Dollars have been trending $28-$32 at auctions. Local auction houses charge 25%. After commission, that is $21-$24, Respectively. Better off selling it: 1. To a local buyer....I know of a gold/silver buyer who pays $25 each for silver dollars. (Sells them for $30 and makes $5 a pop). 2. On eBay, commission would be much lower.
Melt at current price is $24.59, and I don't know ANY buyer who pays that much for silver dollars. The norm is up to $3.50 under spot.
