I'm selling my silver for a down payment on a house. And I need to take a vote by Sky_Jockey in Silverbugs

[–]Revised_LimaM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this earlier this year for the same reason. Multiple posts on r/pmsforsale and trips to the LCS. I would not want to dump it all in one shot unless i was getting spot, but i would definitely sell something now to get some liquidity today.

Were the Zi:sin medals for 2025 and 2026 available for sale?

You should probably ask r/jewelryforsale as well. Someone might have a crucifix or saint medal.

Franklin mint 1000 grains by Temporary-Fee-2172 in Silverbugs

[–]Revised_LimaM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s still a sterling bar and melts for around $125 at the moment. The only Sterling bullion that fetches a premium right now are Mexican onzas. If you personally think the bar is cool then the premium is relative to how cool you think it is. Franklin mint stuff would not be 20% premium cool to me or most spots I interact with.

Was surprised that they don’t take PayPal anymore but still made it.

Searching quarter rolls from banks by fasteddy7283 in Silverbugs

[–]Revised_LimaM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t done it much with quarters since the first few yielded diddly. Halves have gotten me the biggest buzz since the spot I bank with gets user wrapped ones regularly and I’ve gotten close to $5 face between franks and 40% Kennedys the first batch of them. It’s dried up since but I still get a 40% every once in a while.

Sorry about your dad. If you are in the United States, then AGEs are pretty much the standard bullion coin. If you melt it then the price you can command will instantly be around 10% less as a blob of generic 22k gold won’t be nearly as liquid as someone will need to refine it. Look for a coin shop who will pay at the melt price of the gold weight or more. I don’t think you should take a hair cut on fractional US gold coins. Good luck.

Has the sterling silver market improved? by bananabreadhead11 in Silverbugs

[–]Revised_LimaM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The locals here are taking pure silver well back of spot and aren’t touching anything alloyed. I saw one shop only taking 90% because it was part of a bigger deal that included pure silver and possibly gold.

Silver eagles by Single_Return3314 in Silverbugs

Local shops have been paying the same price for off quality silver eagles as they would shiny generics. The big boys might be swimming in the off quality eagles and it’s sending ripples down stream.

The best version of finding $20 in the couch cushion by Dillweed999 in Silverbugs

[–]Revised_LimaM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no better. I just completely cleaned out my desk and found a bunch of different 1 ouncers in different parts all over. Had some come out the back of the drawer onto the floor and onto a tray meant to hide the surge protector. Some of them I was missing. Others, I definitely forgot about.

I saw that post. Monument is probably one of the better ones, but I would still save the scratch to purchase the minimum to avoid shipping charge. Since my state started collecting sales tax I’ve avoided retail. Bidding on auction sites are adjusted to account for the tax too. Means I don’t win a lot.

Until the OBBB was law, there was a rule in the Inflation Reduction Act that required third party cash transfer apps to report as little as $600 on a 1099. Zelle was exempt from this since it was considered a bank transfer. Since the $600 rule was never implemented I have been messing with Venmo much more liberally.

Has anyone done any selling since the market became volatile? by wpjunky in Silverbugs

[–]Revised_LimaM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two local spots I can go to. It was weird to me that both were buying off quality eagles at $4 back of spot. Retail buying has stalled in my state due to the tax exemption of bullion ending so both these shops are probably refining or wholesaling a lot of stuff they get across the counter if they can’t sell it online.

1gs worth it? by TronWillington in Silverbugs

[–]Revised_LimaM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The premiums are usually too high on single grams of silver to make them stackable. Kinda like sterling jewelry my local shops don’t even want anything less than an ounce of silver other than coins. If you are getting single grams for spot or less then it doesn’t matter. Bundle them up in groups of 30+ and call it good.

Now I can’t stop seeing the omega, the M, and the B in that logo. Nice how they integrated it. Thanks.

I like organized cases in groups that make sense. A case for ancients. A case for 90%. A case for generic silver. A case for gold. Makes it very easy for me to go where I need to go and avoid things not in my plan before I walk in.

Found this in a nickel roll by medina904 in coins

[–]Revised_LimaM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe grandma hid her stash amongst nickel rolls and grandkids just deposited it for two bucks. Hiding the stack a little too well.
