Within those ranges of 11-15 X face it is a heck of a lot of fun to go through, especially if they are mixing in a few Walkers and Barbers with the Franklins. A fine time to enjoy and every once in a while you find a winner. Even if you don't find a treasure, the things you learn by being hands on with more coins is always valuable.

I was talking to one of owners of most reasonable shop around me about a month ago.. He buys for 10x and sells for 15x. Seems like you have a sweet hookup for 11x

Yes, I have been quite lucky. My local dealer sort of looks down upon scrap silver. Although he pays a fair price when buying 80%, 90% and 99.9%, he sells the 80% and 90% for spot, the generic bullion rounds he gets are Spot + $1 and the silver maples/eagles he has are spot + $3. Despite this, he always seems to have an abundance of scrap, so much so that he says he sends 500oz out every month to be melted just because he can't justify storing it all. I often pick through his scrap boxes, among other things I have found, Liberty Seated dimes and Half Dimes, 2x 3-cent silvers (1852, 1853) in G-4 and plenty of 18th and 17th century world silver (usually 92.5%). I never find any Barber halves (although he has plenty of Barber quarters and dimes in G-VG), but he has plenty of G-VG common date walkers at face. Unfortunately, I bought a lot of scrap when silver had dropped to $22/oz thinking I got a good deal, and am now regretting it, so I have that stashed away and focus exclusively on numismatic purchases rather than hoarding bullion/scrap silver. I have not been to the shop in 3 months now, as it's much easier to find deals and a better selection on numismatic items online. Edited by zxcccxz

I have a pawn shop in town that charges melt for them. I snag everything they have when they have anything.

My LCS has all 90% for 13x face right now. I just bought a bunch of quarters including some AG to G Barbers and some G to VG standing liberty. Got some nice-ish Walking Liberty halves in VG to VF. They were charging 13X face two weeks ago also when silver was $1 more an ounce. |

Went to one of our pawn shows today as the picture showed a stack of bars and rounds. No bars or rounds on hand. Only silver they had was circulated 90% quarters for $7-10 each.

Buffalow, I have to ask what you have against a pawn shop. The one I deal with seems to be pretty straight forward on its coins. Some seem to be a little high, and some are quite reasonable. I have no problem with the way they do business.

Wow! That's 28-40 times face value. How can they possibly find a buyer at that price?
