<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wesdavidson, post: 597402, member: 18646&quot;]8 to 10 x has been fair for a couple of years. sounds like you are a classic hobby collector. From the the Max Mehle era to the early 70&#039;s you could make silver collection from circulation at face value.. sounds like you lucked ito one of those collections. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; haven&#039;t seen any dollars out her this year for less than about $14.00. the reason that they seem to be more money in the books is that so many high grade came on the market in the 60&#039;s to 90&#039;s. the stuff like your friend has has been getting melted untll it is hard for a person to put together a face value collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 10X would seem fair, or you can pay between blue book and red book. half a dozen of one , 6 of the other. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Since &#039;80 seems that the investors have convinced everyone to &quot;dis&quot; any collection that doen&#039;t make a dealer a lot of money. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; To be fair, the dealer has to make a living. 30% markup would be about minimum on low price stuff. He has to clear a few hundred a day to pay costs. It can come at a 1% markup on a great coin, 100% to 300% on common forein or US stuff, or 4000 % on buying rolls and cherrypicking. But it takes a lot of picking. </p><p><br /></p><p>My local dealers make about 2-5% on bullion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pawn shops would pay 3-4x face and melt the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
