What are fair prices for coins?

Jury said:
What is fair now for 90% dime, half and 40% half?
Thank you

My local shop offered $3.25 per for 40% halves in quantity of 10 or more. No thanks. Best bet is Ebay or CL I think.

that is low.. you can get 40%ers for at least $4 via apmex. These local dealers are probably mailing to them after they buy from you. LOL

Ampex does require that you have $1000 worth to sell however.

My local shop pays 20x on US coinage.

$2.00 for a dime
$5.00 for a Quarter
$10 for a 90% Half
$20 for a 90% Dollar

I am guessing around $4.00-$4.20 for a 40% Half

Selling right now, they would charge 22x.

$2.20 for a dime
$5.50 for a Quarter
$11 for a 90% Half
$22 for a 90% Dollar

I am giessing around $4.40 for a 40% Half

I don't know if it is fair or not, but I pay $0.10 for circulated 90% US dimes; $0.50 for circulated 90% half dollars; and $0.50 for circulated 40% half dollars. :laughing7:

Wish I had your shop. My only local one apparently focuses more on numismatics and as a result wants unrealistic prices for even the worst of their silver. $18 for 90% halves and $8 for 40%. Haven't been back since.

I am on a strict purchasing program.

Dont know if I stated it here or not but I dont have a 401k to fall back on. I am 20 years into my working life and I have ZERO retirement saved up. I have to collect a bare minimum of 2 ounces a week for the next 20 years to be on my low track, I have to collect a minimum of 4 ounces a week to be where I truly want to be. Sometimes, that requires buying an ounce or two a month. Best prices I have found have been locally when not out of a bank vault or tellers tray :D

The guys at my local shop are truly stand up people. I have not seen them rip off a soul.

I dont like thier pricing on .999 rounds like ASE and Maples, its +$4 over spot but hey, they are a small outfit that needs to make profit to stay in business. I own a single ASE just because its a nice coin.

I was at mine and they offered less than break up value to a guy with dozens of proof sets from the late '70s and early '80s. He literally would have been better off opening them up and spending them. $1.75 for $1.91 in coins.

Proof sets really dont hold too much value, even around here. They sell way below original selling price.
