<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pilkenton, post: 915380, member: 23961&quot;]I collect silver coins for bullion.&nbsp; I do separate them--Mercurys, Franklins, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I need some cash, I&#039;ll grab a roll of Kennedy&#039;s or Roosevelt&#039;s.&nbsp; I like to hang onto my older stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday I went to my dealer/family friend with a roll of Walker halves.&nbsp; He is a little further than the other dealers in my area, but he is very fair with me.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have to worry about getting ripped off by him.&nbsp; In fact, he gives me and my family better deals than most.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I took my roll of Walkers (these were nothing special, just bullion to me) to him, I asked if the older stuff commanded a higher price than Kennedy halves.&nbsp; He said silver prices being what they are today, they all go in the scrap bucket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this normal?&nbsp; I know I would have to pay more for a roll of Walkers than a roll of Kennedy&#039;s.&nbsp; He gave me 130.00 for the roll, which was only a couple bucks less than what the melt value.&nbsp; But like I said, he always gives my family great deals.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not complaining.&nbsp; I&#039;m working on selling coins as a side job and I want to know if this is the way it is done when buying older rolls.&nbsp; Since I was getting such a good price every time I go in there, maybe I was getting Walker scrap prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my question, when dealers buy a quantity of scrap, do they pay more for the Walkers and Mercury&#039;s than the Kennedy&#039;s and the Roosevelt&#039;s, or is it all the same?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
