I also talked to a local "We Buy" dealer that I've sold other silver and some gold to and he said they pay $16 per $1 face value, plus some extra for one of those types - I think it was the Morgans - which would have come to a bit under $1700. I wasn't surprised this, I know they need to make a profit, and they've been good to deal with in the past. And that would be the easy way to go - but maybe not the best.</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay is a possibility, especially since I don't have a car, which makes getting around this area (which I don't know well anyway) hard for me.
