<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 597018, member: 17753&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps you (the collective you) can help me and a friend out here.</p><p><br /></p><p>He has an old collection he wants to get rid of, and he wants to give me first dibs.&nbsp; He brought it over, and I&#039;ve been looking at in in my spare time over the past week.&nbsp; The best way I can describe it is: average unremarkable well circulated silver (it&#039;s all pre-1965).&nbsp; He&#039;s got no key dates, most stuff is in G to F condition (newer stuff in F/XF), etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>He&#039;s got:</p><p>- Merc dimes</p><p>- Roosies</p><p>- Walking Liberty Halves</p><p>- Franklin Halves</p><p>- Morgans</p><p>- Peace $1&#039;s</p><p><br /></p><p>(no quarters . . . odd)</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, he wants to give it to me as low as possible because we&#039;re good friends.&nbsp; Because I&#039;m a friend, I don&#039;t want to pay him too low -- on the other hand, he&#039;s got a lot of stuff, and I have a low budget, so I don&#039;t want to break my own budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>His first suggestion (looking for a low price) was: what would a dealer pay for them?</p><p><br /></p><p>So . . . what <b>would </b>a dealer pay him?&nbsp; Melt value?&nbsp; 10.5 x face value?&nbsp; Is the answer different for the Roosies and the Walkers?&nbsp; What about the Morgans?</p><p><br /></p><p>(Again: let&#039;s just assume, for the time being, that there is nothing special about the coins, except for the fact that they are silver.&nbsp; Typical example: 1934 Mercury in G to VG, or 1955-P Roosie, F/XF)</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
