Dimes were 4-5$ Each. quarters were 10-12.
Common date wheats were $2.
And forget about bullion. Peace were $35. I did find some generic rounds at $26-32.

It has been a long time, maybe , never again.

How many dealers were at the show? It sounds like you may be quoting prices from a single dealer. It is hard to imagine a show with, say, 20 dealers having all of them with these totally ridiculous prices. After all, they are competing with each other and don’t want to leave without selling much.

Circulated 90% dimes were $4-5 each? Roosevelt's?

Both merc and rosies

Common date wheats were $2 a piece? there was one roll of wheats for $10 without a label as to the years.

The new normal?... quite possibly.

As PM prices gets smashed along with the stock market, I suspect Ag bullion premiums will reach 200-300%.

Imagine 90% dimes selling for $10 a piece. By then the USD probably won't be worth sh*t.

If you cash out at that price, you'd best spend it that day before the dollar gets re-valued the next.

About 30 total.with 5-6 doing ,odd stuff. Like nuggets foreign, old paper.

I only saw a couple of films buying. One gent pulled out a WAD of 100' s to buy a gold piece for 1700.
The other was 400 for a Carson city dollar.

Wholesale bid on 90% right now is $8.50 over....thats a 43.5% premium over spot for wholesale!

Proof gold in boxes is almost near that same level too!

One dealer was selling almost everything dirt cheap: Wheat pennies - 3 for a dime! Older nickels 3 for a quarter. Canadian and foreign very cheap. More importantly, he had the lowest price for SILVER - quarters for 4.50, 90 percent halves for 9 dollars. As for other dealers,. Quarters were 8 dollars and up. Pre 1965 halves were 13 and up. Junk peace dollars were 26 and up. Junk Morgans were around 30 and up. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

That said, I think alot of the newbies are trying to jack up the values since the items are "old". I've seen it happen with toy cars, arcade games, and classic cars, so I suspect that it is all relative.

90% silver dime rolls are still strong.
