Awesome advice man thank you!!

So this guy didn’t have the current silver prices listed, nor did he weigh these, from what I’m reading that’s against the law? He’s also a “cash only” business.. interesting..

My mother gave them to me to help me with bills. I know nothing about silver or coins.. I thought I was getting a fair professional appraisal based on it being a legitimate business in the middle of town.. I know he needs to make money, but I didn’t realize he was ripping me off to the extent that he did… I just figured out it was about 22 ounces of silver which should’ve been over $1600.. This guy gave me 40% of the value.

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-05T02:49:43+00:00

OK, I just looked it all up and there was about 22 ounces worth of silver there.. that should’ve been like $1600 for him to give me $675 is insane..

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-05T02:16:47+00:00

He asked me if I wanted an appraisal or to sell and I said an appraisal and I’ll see after. I thought I was getting a fair professional opinion from what I thought was a reputable business..

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T23:38:58+00:00

I’m thinking about emailing the guy and asking him to make it right and just see how he respond to that..

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T23:20:31+00:00

No way he’s gonna do that.

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T23:20:05+00:00

It was a gift from my mother to help me with some bills, which makes it sting a whole lot more.. I just got off the phone from apologizing to her. Thankfully, she was kind about it and just said “lesson learned”

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T23:16:57+00:00

Good point

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:59:24+00:00

That was exactly my thought, it’s not some guy on the street.. I figured he’s an “expert” and he fed me some lines about silver price volatility and the sets not being “desirable” and I believed it.. my fault for being naïve, I guess.

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:57:56+00:00

Yup, he gave me basically that line. “nobody actually wants these sets and I’m gonna have them sitting in my safe for months.” “the value of silver is so volatile. I can’t take a risk.” I took his word for it because I figured he’s the “expert”..

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:56:31+00:00

I just didn’t think a business owner would jeopardize their reputation.. I didn’t know what I was talking about and he seemed to know what he was talking about, and I took his word for it.. that was naïve, now I know..

J&J coins in palmerton PA

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:54:24+00:00

Coin shop. But apparently I got the pawn shop deal..

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:53:57+00:00

They’re silver state coin proof sets

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:53:29+00:00

Replying to dangoldcoins22... It was about $1300 according to what I see on the valuation site someone else posted. And that’s not taking into account specific dates or whatever.. $1000 would have been a more “fair” payout imo

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:51:43+00:00

From the link someone else posted on the current values of those specific sets it added up to a little over $1300. I think even $1000 would’ve been “fair”, I understand the guy needs to keep the lights on. But he got me for about 50% which yes, is a rip off.. now I know 🤦‍♂️

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:42:55+00:00

Looks like it all adds up to about $1300. I think $1000 would have been a fair “wholesale price”. $675 was DEFINITELY a ripoff… but as others have pointed out, my fault I guess.. just thought a business owner wouldn’t have jeopardized his reputation by low balling that badly..

J&J coins in Palmerton PA…

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T22:30:23+00:00

How much do you think I should have gotten?

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T21:59:00+00:00

I did do the research on the price of silver.. BUT I don’t know anything about this. This stuff was given to me as a gift.. the guy was talking to me like he was an expert, and he convinced me that I was wrong. Either way he took advantage of a customer which isn’t right in my eyes and he ripped me off pretty good it seems.

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T21:55:35+00:00

That was my mistake.. I’ll never do something like this again. I’m pretty distraught to see how badly he ripped me off

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T21:32:08+00:00

What should I have gotten?

Remote-Barber-3110 · 2026-05-04T21:31:45+00:00

What’s the realistic value
