Quote: My LCS will pay about .80c on the dollar for gold, and .50-.60c for silver. I know these guys have to make a quid to keep the doors open but 50-60 cents in the dollar Sheeesh

You can sell for 98% spot price for gold to ARA any day of the week. They do melt though, so if you have any qualms about that...that's something to consider though! They pay 90% spot for silver.

90% is good, especially when the bullion dealer has to allow for melting and refining costs.

I had planned on taking some profit if it hit over $1400. I didn't think it would be nearly this soon, I just bought about 12 months ago.
I will be forced to keep an eye on it. The price of gold is sky rocketing right now. That will probably change my game plan, I'll be tempted to let it ride. If the trend remains strong, I'll ride it to the top I hope!!

If you need the cash, you could safely sell your silver at $18 just now.

Depends on what bullion. I know places that will pay $2 over for uncirculated eagles. Some other bullion coins are even more valuable.

Hmm, a lot of places will say the opposite. Something like 'it's just an ounce of silver.'
Definitely shop around.

My experience is that local coin shops and pawn shops will do everything they can to talk your gold and silver down in price. Private sales via online platforms and so might actually get you much more out of every gram of PM. However, it may also be a tad more difficult or craving to get it sold.

I live in a decent-sized city, with a combo jeweler/coin dealer, the only game in town. There are no cash-for-gold joints within a 50 mile radius. The couple of pawn shops here will not deal with PM's in coin or bullion form because of PM's up and down price swings. The jeweler has cornered the market locally.

Sounds like a business opportunity to me, fist. Why not start advertising on CL to buy silver for .60-.70 on the dollar and be the highest local bidder?

I called Louisville Numismatic Coin shop this morning and they quoted me great prices for both, American Silver Eagles and American Gold Eagles.
I was driving in my truck when I called but I think he was a dollar over spot on the silver eagles and was at spot on the gold eagles. I was impressed.

I don't know how to quote another poster on this site. That said, "what do you plan to do with the money?" Is probably the most important question I would ask myself.
