<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 5252674, member: 103207&quot;]Based on what you were trying to sell I can figure out why he may not have been interested in a number of items.&nbsp;&nbsp; Gold coins whether buying or selling are expensive and the dealer may not have customers that would buy them.&nbsp; The 1923 Peace dollar is a very common dollar and he most likely put it in a old cigar box with other common dollars and sell them for less than $25.00 each.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is a very common practice.&nbsp; Not a lot of profit in doing that.&nbsp; Same with the Washington quarters because they are considered junk silver.&nbsp; Junk silver is bought below spot and generally sold at spot or not much more.&nbsp; The Mexican Olympic silver coin would fall into the same category of junk silver.&nbsp; He may not have wanted it because he had no buyers.&nbsp;&nbsp; The casino tokens and off metal bars wouldn&#039;t appeal to most collectors so they have no value to the dealer.&nbsp; Those are considered novelty items of little to no value.&nbsp;&nbsp; Honestly I don&#039;t think the dealer treated you poorly I think what you offered him was stuff he would be stuck with.&nbsp; I think he was being fairly honest with you.&nbsp;&nbsp; As a final note about 12 years ago I wanted to buy some silver bullion and went to a dealers shop that I&#039;ve been going to for many years to see what I could pick up.&nbsp;&nbsp; I notice he had a lot of modern commemorative silver dollars that I know he had for a very long time.&nbsp; These were still in mint packaging and in both proof and mint state format.&nbsp;&nbsp; I ended up buying about 50 of these 90 percent silver dollars for between $14.00 and $16.00 dollars in the mint packaging.&nbsp;&nbsp; The dealer was happy to get rid of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; I still have them and still consider them as just bullion.&nbsp;&nbsp; BTW most dealers would also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
