Here is the list of prices I am currently paying for your Silver:

Jefferson War Nickels (1942-1945)..................= 36x Face Value ($1.80)
Mercury Dime (1916-1945)...........................= 26x FV ($2.60)
Roosevelt Dime (1946-1964).........................= 26x FV ($2.60)
Standing Liberty Quarter (1916-1930)..............= 26x FV ($6.50)
Washington Quarter (1932-1964)....................= 26x FV ($6.50)
Half Dollar (1916-1947)...............................= 26x FV ($13.00)
Ben Franklin Half Dollar (1948-1963)...............= 26x FV ($13.00)
JFK Half Dollar (1964)................................= 26x FV ($13.00)
JFK Half Dollar 40% Silver (1964-1970)............ = 9x FV ($4.50)
Morgan Dollar (1878-1921)...........................= 29x FV ($29.00)
Peace Dollar (1921-1935).............................= 27x FV ($27.00)

Fine Silver (.999) 1 or 5 ounce oz bar/round = (SPOT Silver price @ 88%) meaning I will quote you the current price of Silver and offer 88% of that.

This is my prices for CL. I'm in New Jersey and the only other posted ad I saw was offering 25x but was very vague as most of the ads are.

Cheers,

Guys -

I'm in a remote area and have been considering posting xtimes face for US junk like you're suggesting here.

BUT there is 1 other guy who offers to buy and says call or email.

I'm considering contacting him and letting him know what he has a competitor 40 miles away that would like to match what he is offering so that we both get good deals, if we start one uping each other we'll both be paying spot soon.

Would you try this honest and direct approach or send him an email saying you've got $10 face that you'd like an offer on? Keep in mind, we're the only people who post any interest in coins in this area.

Get a quote, then contact him and tell him you plan to buy...if you get referrals going between the two of you to cut down travel...get some zones set up, it could go well...

Worst case scenario, compete (and PM me the competitors ads and Ill flag em ;) )

Wow...People here really like the big lots!

I got a hit today:

1 1937 liberty half dollar
82 morgan and peace dollars
63 Silver eagle bullion coins

He said he had some dollar coins and eagles, so I offered him 26$ for the Peace and Morgan and 39$ for the eagles...and he replied with his total numbers...I sent him a quote for a total of 4600$...not too shabby at all :lol:
