Silver Bullion For Bags Of Junk Silver Coins

My advice would be to read a few of the numismatic books, and most would advice collector/investor to go for the key/semi key coins. Get involve with a series and experience what you really enjoy about the coin.

Of course, unless you're a accumulator, that would be a different story.

Good coins can be found in junk silver lots if you know what you are looking for.

In general, foreign silver sells in my area for under spot & is harder to sell. If you know that up front & buy right you can still do OK.

I think if you place an ad, as macmercury said, you stand the best chance of picking up old unsearched stashes of silver coins and worthwhile searchable penny stashes. Just be ready with a lot of cash if you are going to be treating the people fairly, which you most certainly should. A half of a Ball jar of silver could cost you a lot of money at melt, and there are a lot of jars out there. You will draw out the good stashes by offering more than the gypsy coin buyers are paying, meaning current and up to date full spot melt price. I believe currently it would be around $29.30 per dollar face value. Please correct me if I'm wrong about current spot values as I am not experienced in buying silver hoards.
