A friend of mine has offered to sell me a variety of US silver coins he has accumulated through his job at a bank. He has a handful of each, all with readable dates: Walking Liberty halves, Franklin halves, Washington quarters, and Liberty dimes.
He has no numismatic knowledge, so he's offered the coins to me for melt because his usual buyer pays him $2 under spot. I've seen photos of some of the coins and none of the them will grade better than very fine.
I'm interested in buying for the numismatic value and holding long term. Am I paying too much if I pay him melt for the coins?
