Selling your scruffy looking 40%ers

[cs15]

Has anyone had any luck getting rid of the 40%ers that look like they've been in a fire? Just wondering if people will buy these along with the good looking ones.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Silver is bad to the bone.
Beauty is not only skin deep.
When they melt them, they look worse for a few seconds until they reach a high temperature. Cheers, Jim

If sold for melt value, silver is silver. As long as they can read the date and know its a 40.

Put them in a tumbler for a little while, they will come out look much much better.

It is a device that MD'ers use to clean their dug up clad coins. Hobbyists also use them to polish different types of stones.

I will buy them off you, I am currently offering 80% of face value.

That wouuld be some MDers. I don't waste my MDing time tumbling my MD coins. I put them in my sand scoop, shake off th loose dirt and they are ready for the coin machine.

LOL.......Now that's funny!!!!! Although I doubt he gets any takers at that rate......ha! I am sure he meant 80% of melt value and not face value.

No, I meant face, Its more funny that way, I always get very confused looks when I say that. Someone years ago said that too me and I just cracked up.
Never had a taker on that one. But I must admit It has taken some people a while to realize what I just said!

I generally offer people 90% of melt for gold, %80 for silver. more for larger lots, it all depends.
