Topic: trading in silver/gold for cash

[*** YELLER ***]

no not the cash for gold :bull crap:

I have 8.5 pounds of silver coins that are just taking up space in my closet and was wondering if anyone has ever taken their coins in to a jewlery store and traded them in for cash

[*** YELLER *** [OP]]

I should say i have about 205 silver 50 cent pieces and 44 silver quarters and 228 silver dimes and 1 nickle, wife works at a bank so we get the good stuff @ face value and we want to cash it in since times are getting tough.

I wouldnt take it to a jewelry store. You will obviously make money since you pay face for them but you could get much more if you sell them to a someone turning their cash into a silver investment. If you were closer to CO I would hook you up with a buddy of mine that buys thousands in silver and gold

I have a friend who buys/sells on eBay.  It's hit or miss, but he does well overall.  He's got a ton of coins, and has been collecting for 20+ years.

[*** YELLER *** [OP]]

most of the weight is in 50 cent pieces and quarters arent the money coins that collectors look for just stuff we buy from the bank at face value and resell for melt down weight trying to make a buck ya know

[Nimyad]

Go check out a coin store if there's one near you. They'll usually give you spot price for dimes, slightly more for quarters and then also spot for the half dollars. Just a thought

we have alot of coin stores here but whats a "SPOT PRICE" do tell is that more than weight price

[Nimyad]

Spot is just the price per ounce, just the technical term I guess. I used to collect coins, and if you don't know what all you have in your coins I really think it'd be worth it to check at a coin store to see if there's anything special in there

This is what I use as a guide when buying and selling:
