[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 133675, member: 4791"]Once again I agree with GD. For fun, I took some Silver to the flea market to see what they offer would be. had 75.00 in face 90% silver. Offered 5.5 times face. (kitco was buying at the time at 8.1 times) PCGS 1935 MS65 Peace. $35.00. Was told "This is grossly overgraded, should be an MS60". I said wow, SGS would grade it a 70. He didnt get it. Indian cents and flying eagles, all vg-vf range. FACE VALUE. (they are "slow sellers") I told the guy I would just spend them then.. : ) Kennedy proofs, Ike proofs, all.. FACE VALUE. Needless to say, I didnt sell anything, once again confirmed earlier visits though. I have yet to find any "dealers" that pay an even decent price for coins. From what I have seen they are waiting for the guy that needs some extra cash or the coins that have been stolen and they get them cheap. just my opinion from personal expierences. Takes me back to the Bozo slab I posted here in another thread, Lightly whizzed. UH HUH[/QUOTE]
