On ebay, the lowest price is 2.20 per. Is that a good price or can I get a better price? |

That's only because ebay sellers have to pay fees and most of them offer free shipping so they have to eat those costs too. Any Roosevelt dime under MS should be only melt. Most minus some of the better dates can be gotten at local dealers for Melt. $2.20 per is not a good price. You can definitely do better. A Roosevelt dime's melt value is currently $1.51, so you should pay $1.60 tops. |

You could buy from online dealers and buy an entire roll for 80 bucks or so which is around 1.60 per.

If you are just buying them for silver melt value, don't pay more per ounce than what a generic silver round costs ($22 +/-).

Along those lines, I was able to buy Mercury dimes at melt from a local dealer. |

You guys have a lot of nice coin dealers in your areas.  Most dealers I know of sell at about 10% over spot, and sell it as quick as they get it. Which I don't think is a bad price, but if you are patient around ebay you can find some good deals once in a while for around spot. But yes, $2.20 for a common loose circulated dime is too much to pay. |

Check out ebay. Look for auctions with free shipping. See what they are selling for. Do some advanced searches on ebay and I'm sure you will see some recent sales where they were had for around spot. Patience is the key if you want a good buy. Week days and evenings are generally better than weekends, but not always. |

I have to agree with edweather on this. Patience and searches are key here. I had just finished another roll of silver junk / circulated dimes from the auctions on e-bay. I paid between 1.60 to 1.70 per dime but it took well over a week to accomplish this and over a hundred auctions to do it. I won individual single dime auctions and some silver dime lot auctions. Like edweather said weekends and even late night ending auctions yeild best results. I am still trying to complete another silver roll of junk / circulated quarters at or close to melt value. Not an easy trip but I will get there. Good luck. John

Do you guys think that the prices on numismedia are close to real prices?

Possibly, but the best way to gauge the current market is to do a search of recent SOLD listings on ebay, take an average, and that will give you exactly what the current prices are. |

Lots are a good way to go vs. individual coins.

Bigger lots, like 50+ coins, really.

I paid 1.80 a piece for blast white ones this weekend. They are 1958 1959 rolls. Hard for me to find blast white rolls so I don't mind paying a little extra
