<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 3285855, member: 13307&quot;]Here&#039;s what I will say based on hanging around (sometimes working for, sometimes just standing there for a while waiting to see if people bring in new inventory) a few coin shops for a while:</p><p><br /></p><p>You can spend your 60&#039;s and 70&#039;s cents unless they are valuable die varieties.&nbsp; My LCS has rolls of UNC Memorial cents for sale for as low as 3x face value, so they will most likely have little interest in change from coin roll hunting.</p><p><br /></p><p>They may make an offer on your silver war nickels, but it will usually be significantly under spot if they are worn/ heavily circulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>My LCS offers 2x face on most wheats (considering most are 1940&#039;s-1950&#039;s) and sells them at 5x face.</p><p><br /></p><p>The <i>only</i> reason I&#039;d ever put CRH finds like war nickels and wheat cents in 2x2 was if I was going to list them in an auction where I knew that 2x2 were <b>magical</b> (people mostly scoff at stuff like that when they&#039;re loose, but put them in 2x2 and suddenly they are collectible coins!)&nbsp; I think you are most likely wasting your money with putting that stuff in 2x2 - better to get some tubes or bins.&nbsp; But, quite honestly, it&#039;s your collection, so have whatever kind of fun you like to have.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mean to be harsh - just honest - so you can adjust your expectations.&nbsp; Coin shops pay well for inventory they know will move quickly (or that they can make a decent profit on) and will not pay strong money for less-profitable inventory that will not only tie up funds but space.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your best case scenario is to try to sell or trade these items on your own - somewhere free, like Craigslist, Facebook, B/S/T forums here.&nbsp; It will take patience, but you will get more money for your items which you can then take to the LCS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
