Buy price for Silver dimes

[marine70]

I have a chance to buy 900 silver dimes, and was wondering what a fair price to offer. As usual any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

Fair would be 24x FV - More than he'd get from a dealer and less than you'd be able to buy from a dealer. $2,160.00 for all 900 dimes.

With silver prices at around 35.90, I think most dealers would offer 21 to 22 times face. You could start with 23 as your opening offer then move up to 24 if necessary. Good luck.

I have been purchasing dimes at 20x, quarters and halves at 26. It all depends on condition. The highest I would go is 22x.

Wow! How are you getting dimes at 20? Also, I know there is a slight premium for halves (especially Walkers), but why you spending so much more on the quarters?

Thanks to all of you that gives me a good idea of what to offer.

Theo, for the dimes at 20x is easy, everyone wants halves so dimes are hard to sell, then here I come and buy them at $2 a piece. As far as quarters, paying 26x is not high, but the quarters that I buy are BU. With the walkers having a premium, I should stack more of those. Why such a premium over franks and kens?
