<p>[QUOTE=&quot;umtrr-author, post: 270768, member: 5719&quot;]I was thinking about this a little more... </p><p><br /></p><p>If the dealer is high end, and therefore isn&#039;t going to work with the more common items, then giving out &quot;special change&quot; may actually be a very cost effective way to deal with those common numismatic items.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Considering the amount of time required to grade with reasonable accuracy, put in a 2x2 (which, it&#039;s been noted, he doesn&#039;t sell!), and price appropriately, it may be a better use of time to just give away the items as a goodwill gesture, which has been worth quite a lot of positive publicity here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Even a bulk &quot;junk silver&quot; selloff or melting (yikes! why even mention that!) has a time investment involved.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s fair to say that the number of collections and accumulations that consist of <b>only</b> high end stuff are few in number; so the dealer is likely to get those average circulated common date Mercs along with the goodies.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the dealer is doing something that&#039;s pretty smart.</p><p><br /></p><p>He&#039;s not the only dealer who does this-- although nothing silver, one of our local dealers makes sure that YN&#039;s including Thalia Elizabeth get &quot;special change&quot; from their purchases.&nbsp;&nbsp; This has included Indian Head Cents, steel cents, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
