<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1624930, member: 27832&quot;]The &quot;substantial discount&quot; I usually see at local coin shows is around 30-40% below melt, compared to maybe 4-5% below melt for 90%. Those are <i>buy</i> prices -- dealers won&#039;t sell them that low.</p><p><br /></p><p>If silver goes back to $50, he&#039;ll easily be able to sell these for more than he paid. But he would&#039;ve profited <i>more</i> by buying them at a lower price, or by buying and reselling 90% silver closer to melt.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, perhaps he didn&#039;t overpay by as much as I thought. In fact, now that I&#039;m looking at recently completed auctions, what he paid is a bit <i>under</i> the going eBay rate -- single rolls are going for $70-75 or so shipped, and the first double-roll auction I found closed at $147 + $5.50 shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, indeed. Maybe it&#039;s time for me to unload some of mine on eBay. Even after fees, it certainly looks like I&#039;d get more than they&#039;re paying at the local shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
