Ready to sell some silver, what's fair?

[John Madill]

Just have a handful of coins, trying to raise enough $$$ for a beach pass.

12 dimes, two quarters and three halves.
Looking online it seems they have a melt value of $83.67.

What would I expect a dealer to pay?

I don't believe your going to get full melt value from a dealer.

What I did was post my silver on Craigslist or FaceBMP. I sold my coins for a little under melt and the guy who bought mine took my number and wants anything I find. I sold a couple silver rings and jewelry for $1 to $5 each, which was over melt value. By the time it was all said and done, I came out ahead of anything I would have gotten from a dealer and no paper work.

Just post, sit back and wait. Don't expect it to move fast.

Try for $75.00 and take $70.00 if you need to sell now.

Not expecting full value, I know some needs to make a profit. Just did not know what the norm is.

Get as close as you can.

Appreciate the offer. Sold them and used the $$$ for carbon fiber rods for my machine. Will take a long time to find that much again.

Good for you my friend. Sounds like you made a very good deal.

With so many private buyers out there already paying dealer premiums, I would at least expect spot price in a private sale.

I was once told (something is only worth what someone is willing to pay) .... I was told that a long time ago and it still comes to mind when I sell anything.. I've sold some finds in the past, silvers and gold ,and I still regret it. I got tired of seeing my finds year after year just chucked in a old drawer and meaningless I thought,until I sold them..Now I wish I had them all back

When I sell mine at a coin show I get 98% of melt. Dealers in a coin shop will most likely pay you less. As of today, your group of silver coins is melting at just over $100.00

Our club (MTHA) pays members full melt value, which our treasurer bases on the COINFLATION App on the date of the sale, which is tied into current melt value for GOLD and SILVER
