<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 2293559, member: 44034&quot;]Over the past few years I&#039;ve been wanting to visit some of these gold/silver buyer establishments to see what kind of coins they were offering and at what prices. The first few I tried didn&#039;t have any coins for sale and looked at me like an alien when I asked if they sell to the general public. Another shop had jewelry and cheap dvds and other electronics but no coins or bullion. Today I went into a shop after seeing them mention on Facebook that they had plenty of junk silver for sale and to come on in and see what they had. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well their junk silver was priced the same as the local coin shop so I didn&#039;t purchase any but they had some numismatic coins that I looked over. As usual with these types of establishments some were priced to high while others looked decent for the price. They had <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/morgan.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/morgan.asp" rel="nofollow">Morgan dollars</a> for $23, <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/peace.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/peace.asp" rel="nofollow">Peace dollars</a> for $20, Stone Mountain commems for $40, junk silver for 13X, steel cents for 10 cents each, and so on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I purchased at fair prices, probabily 20-30% less then what some of the local coin shops here are asking. Nothing too great but I&#039;ll have to put it on my list to stop back in. They were not very busy. I was looking at what they had for 30 minutes and they didn&#039;t have any other customers. I wonder if the people in my area that would consider selling at these types of places are out of things to sell. I would have thought that the Christmas rush would bring out some sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always your thoughts are welcome. Tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]460005[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460008[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460009[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460010[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
