coinsnnotes New Member 27 Posts	Posted 08/13/2014 1:02 pm You probably should say something along the lines of: Haben sie munzen fur silber preis? This means: do you have coins for spot? Or: Ich suche fur munzen das sie kunnen mir fur silver preis verkaufen. I am looking for coins that you could sell to me for spot. Um, last edit. You should probably know that "junk silver" in other words coins for silver price are pretty rare in europe. It's not like the pawnshops in the US. This is mainly because in the EU there is a 20% VAT on silver. Edited by coinsnnotes 08/13/2014 1:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If you are lucky, they will just let you buy a bit of their lot. Report this Post to the Staff

From what you have said I am guessing you tried the coin store in Karlzplatz Ubahn station... they can be difficult sometimes. One of the best, for your purposes is a small shop at the end of the Graben: By Julius Meinl( Supermarket), theres a small alley like street about half way up that street on the right is a small shop they will assist you looking for silver coins. More expensive is HD Rauch (actually on the Graben) which is almost opposite the plague pillar. If you are in Vienna on saturday try the Naschmarkt but don't trust the sellers too much...if you know what your looking for you can find some bargains.
