Coin shop and casino adventures

[Immy]

Brought $1K with me to the coin shop today with plans to buy seven 10-oz. bars and maybe some rounds with what was left over. I called earlier in the week to see if they had some in stock and they gave me their usual "Sure, plenty!" Got there and the place was bi-zee! So I shopped for some supplies and finally asked for some Engelhards. Guess what...all out!!! Sold all they had yesterday and they don't know when they'll get more. They were priced great too, $134 each.
They had some 100-ozers but I didn't bring enough $$$

If silver surges before next weekend I'll scream! I can only visit on Saturdays so hopefully the price will go down more by then.

The casino was at least a good source for silver. Out of $100 in nickels I got a 1942-S and a 1943-P.

Sweet job on the nickels! Nabbed 2 silvers as well from my last $150 in handrolls. I FINALLY finished them like 2 hours ago... so NO MORE CRH for me! I'm done for the year. Looks like you will win our nickel race, because I am pretty sure I didn't get anymore of the 7 I need out of this batch. I know I saw a 1950 no D in there which is cool, but I don't need it. Still a few stacks of pre-60's I pulled out I need to go through for specific dates, but I know there are no 38's or 39's in there as well as no war nics, which is like 6 of the 7 I need right there, lol.

And sorry about the silver. You are HARDLY alone on that one though. $134 is nice for a 10oz as well... too bad. =( You still have next week. At least you have a dealer who is willing to sell at such low prices. Even fee-bay is keeping silver at like $16-17 an ounce, and most dealers simply won't sell. Gotta love the obvious silver shortage and the rediculous joke of 12.70 an ounce when NO ONE sells for that... thus making "spot price" a complete and utter joke... a total fallacy.

That's right-
Uneducated people sell to dealers for $11.50 all day!

The day that becomes true is the day I buy a lot of nicely priced silver Tim. =)

I've called EVERY reputable dealer in my state multiple times over the past week, and NONE of them report ANY panick selling and therefore with their logic that THEY paid $17 when it was high... that they can't sell it for less than that and therefore... they don't sell it at all.
