On Monday a longtime silver connection of mine emailed me that she had 500 silver Roosies that she wanted $1500 for. I managed to get her down to $1,350 and I was fairly happy about paying about 10% under melt value. When I made the ebay rounds last night I saw a lot that interested me. A mix of 1 oz silver rounds to walking haves in good shape at best , 10 or 11 Peace dollars common dates some in good shape, 30 something pre 64 quarters and some dimes. I had a melt value without the 1 oz coins at around $900 bucks. I emailed him for a buy it now about 30 minutes later he emailed me a price of $350, I was shocked. I thought he meant to type $850 so I asked for a detailed invoice to pay with, which he complied. After I paid for this $350 lot he asked if I wanted anymore dimes as he had 11 rolls and some spares. Thinking is this really to good to be true, I was cautious but in the end I took the 550 dimes for $1k a $1,400 total with shipping. He doesn't have a big ebay history like a 70 feedback but he has been on there for over 4 years. I paid with my CC via paypal to take advantage of the Venture Cards double points and a $28 award bringing the total down to $1,372. I am not gonna lie I am a little nervous but I took all the appropriate steps to protect myself. He is paypal verified so supposedly the money I sent is protected against fraud. I found him on FB to and his story does seem to pan out, we will see. |

Sounds like a great score! I liked the deal I got a few weeks ago, 1130 Rosies and Mercs for $0, plus 78 War Nickels and 520+ silver halfs all for $0. I was very lucky my father in law used to be a coin dealer. |

Wow Coinut, that is a great deal. I just got confirmation he sent a 5 1/2 pound package sent priority from him to me. I just don't know why he charged me so little?

They might be coming out better than you think on what they have in them. I bought 579 roosevelts and mercurys for 2.25 each recently and quarters and Kennedy halves at 6 and 12 each. I got from Same guy 1 oz rounds for 35 and can get more at that price or slightly higher. He knows silver over 40 and content being ahead at his prices |

Yeah, everything seems to be on the up and up right now. He sent me a photo of the usps insurance receipt and the actual cash receipt from the Post Office dated today. He has responded to all my emails very promptly so I am hopeful. Total melt value of the thing he says he is sending is $2868 and I paid around $1400 so I am happy for now. I love hunting for cheap silver.

Impatiently waiting for the mailman to bring me my "supposedly" great deal. I will photograph what comes in the box.
