Any suggestions about a good hold-out price before unloading my pre-1965, 90%, $1000 face value dimes? I am new at this and would greatly appreciate and value feedback! Thanks in advance for taking the time.

Currently ( 11/29/24 6:00 est) the melt value for 90% silver dimes is $2.22 each, $22.20 for $1.00 (10 dimes) worth and therefore for $1,000.00 face value (10,000 dimes) $22,200.00.
Hopes this helps.

I'm not super up on dimes but I suppose it might matter the condition, raw, slabbed, business strike, proofs. Maybe check the mint numbers too, maybe so low mintage coins that are worth more. There are some varieties out there too. I found a DDO / DDR 63 proof and don't think it's worth much more than any other proof. LINK http://goccf.com/t/425243&SearchTer...O,PROOF,DIME The proofs would not appear to be worth a whole lot more either, I think they may sell for about 3.50, 4.00 right now. There are some stronger doubled dies out there that are worth several dollars too. Not sure it would be worth searching them unless they are in pretty good condition. Hopefully some dime enthusiasts will chime in. ADDED: Here is a link for the mintages. Looks like the 50 through 55 proofs are the lowest numbers, maybe worth a little more in decent condition.

As Freespeech says, pretty simple calculation. What's the problem?  to the CCF! |

Just remember that most bullion buyers at that FV worth of dimes won't pay melt due to the overhead. If they're just common-date, lower grade bullion coins without any particular numismatic value, you can expect to be paid anywhere from 85-90% of melt value depending on the buyer (assuming you're a walk-in customer.)
I would definitely recommend selling in person; the shipping costs will otherwise substantially eat into your already-reduced margins.

Selling to a B&M you'll be lucky to get 90% of melt. Selling directly to a stacker you might get melt. Good luck!

If you're new to selling silver, then maybe twenty grand in one shot is a bad starting point. Maybe sell $10 FV first, and see what you learn?

I am assuming your coins were pulled from circulation so even when you know the buy /sell spread you will not know the payout until your coins are weighed. It is not just a simple calculation. This is something you should be aware of.

Curious, are these Roosevelts or Mercurys or Barbers or what? I have found that the older types go for a little more, also that Barbers tend to be lighter as they got heavy use and are worn down.
Me personally, I don't like the Roosies because you need to read the date to know if it's silver, the others are guaranteed.
