Ive seen rolls go for anywhere between $30-35. Ebay is your best source for how much people are paying. You can expect to get 10x face for 90%ers |

| You guys are only getting $1.20 per coin? I havent talked to my dealer recently but that seems way on the low side.. Apmex will buy them for $1.41 but you have to have $1000 face |

Use
You must be logged in to see this link.
for the daily dream price pegged to London spot, usually there is a premium on that price when buying (and lately even when selling) at coin shops.
The real value is what ever you can get and/or are satisfied with.
Walking through flea market's or garage sales with a few rolls in your pocket can make for some rather good trades. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

You can use coinflation as a guide but you will most likely never get the full melt value when you sell to a dealer.

NO, the ebay fees will eat your profit!! Contact a good dealer and see what they are paying or sell to someone on here |

| Thanks High, I have looked around here in town and I was offered $4.00 for each 1964 kennedy half dollar. I thought that was ok. But for the 1965's through 1969's, the guy only offered me $0.60 a piece! I know that's to low. |

| time and time again , dealers have told me. that 40% sell for a deep discount. which i think is their way of reaping more profit. |

Hang on to your 40%'ers!
They will be worth a LOT more once Ag goes up to it's true value.
Unless you really need the FRN's right now, keep then for the next year or so.
I'll bet you can get close to (maybe even the actual) Coinflation melt price from a member here on these forums if you need to sell yesterday. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

Anytime man im always glad to help.
WOW 60 cents! I would have just laughed and walked away! (Even though you should try to make "friends" with your dealers and try not to offend them"
I was originally offered $1 for mine but when he said a dollar I kinda laughed quietly and the guy was like what what do you think there worth. I said "Id have to calculate it out, but i know its a lot more than that" He just smiled and said well how about $1.50 than. I wasent going to sell them for less than $1.50 so i was pleased and a little suprised that I got that.
Dan $4 isnt to bad of a price for the 90% but I know theres people on this forum that will pay you more than 8times face!
Also the 40% are kinda hard to sell sometimes because they are a pain to smelt, but just hold on to them and ask around and eventually you will find a dealer to give you a decent price for them. Just know what they are worth and know how much you want for them |

Hello Computer Jones, I am gonna hang on to my halves. I only have 278, (the 40%/90% breakdown being..221/57)and the money that represents is not enough to get me out of any economic crisis I might experience.
Hi Highroller, I was talking to the guy on the phone. I ain't gonna sell em'. I like them to much, :-). If I had enough, I'd pile them up in the floor and waller (wallow)in them. LOL.
Cwgii, I think you did great getting $33 for a roll of 40%'s.
