Well, I would buy them... There are some lower prices for 90% here and there, but generally not for BU.

heck yeh!! both feet!!..they are THE COIN, Prince of the 90's....why?...look at the mintage numbers..grab everyone you can at 10.25...the coin is a titch over a third an ounce right?...so that's fractionalized silver at 30.75 a toz?

OH!!! what more could any guy want?!?

whats a bunch mean?...a hundred? two hundred?...GRAB 'em and tube 'em....throw a dessicant pouch in wif 'em!

you got me excited, and I aint even there...but we scored here today....a widow just sold us a whole herd of sheep, 60 head for $20 a piece. I'm the one that's pushing the whole crew towards grazing sheep...I bought all the posts and fencing last week, zero interest for 12 months...so we both scored...now we just need some round bales...and some billy goats to sound the coyote alarm.

Wow, seems cheap - $20 a head. But don't know nuthin' 'bout sheep.

From personal experience at a monthly coin show today... a dealer had mercury dimes at 21x. He had very very nice '64 kennedy halves mixed with some franklin halves. The Kennedy's were mostly BU condition, some slightly worn.... still incredibly nice. Let's just say he was entirely bought out of the halves at 22x within 10 minutes of putting them out in his table display...

To me, it's too much.

I bought a roll of XF/Au 64 JFK's at my LCS today for $9.00/each. I'll keep checking to see if he gets any more. I'll take all I can get at that price!

Thats funny, I saw what neil had said and then responded to it in another thread explaining how llamas work. Then came back to this thread and saw you had mentioned it as well. LLamas serve this role very well.

What is the coinstore charging for non BU coin?
