Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6988 Posts	Posted 11/25/2024 2:27 pm I'm not one who goes to pawn shops often (last visit about 4/5 years ago looking for my stolen items)...However while using a different route on my way to work I noticed a nice clean store front of one and decided to stop in on my day off. Inquired about their prices on the silver they had on hand and now I'm wondering if they are in line with what others (forum members) are willing to pay. Here they are: Dimes $ 3.25 Quarters $ 8.00 Half Dollars 90% $14.50 Peace dollars $30.00 Morgans $35.00 ASEs $37.00 Bullion coins $34.00 Let me add both Peace and Morgans mostly circulated and some heavily cleaned. Thanks for sharing your opinions............Greasy Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 11/25/2024 2:33 pm Hi Greasy the current premium at my LCS is $2.70 for silver dimes, spot plus $5 for ASE and spot plus $3-$4 for bullion silver coins. Based on that, the ASE and bullion coins are reasonable the dimes and probably the other "junk" coins are high. I haven't gotten "junk" Morgan's or Peace so I don't know.

I'll move it over now, but if you really don't want that, then let me know and I can move it back here to main. Thx.

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5177 Posts	Posted 11/26/2024 3:25 pm Better make sure the ASE and Morgan dollars are not Chinese fakes. Report this Post to the Staff
