<p>[QUOTE="TheMont, post: 2607606, member: 80121"]I mentioned in an earlier posting that a local shop weighed the junk silver, multiplied the result by 90% and then added 5% to the total for the final price. In other words he got 5% over melt. I was told that I should have asked him o charge me a certain amount times face for a better deal. Just for the heck of it, I counted the face value of the coins and I wound up paying 15 times face, so it looks like I got the better deal by him just weighing it and the deal went faster for him. I guess he does it that way to say the time it would take him to total up the face, it's quicker to just weight it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
