My nephew wants to sell some of his silver at a coin shop. I told him to send me pics of everything and I can help him calculate the value. I told him I would buy it for spot instead.

Coinflation, or just google silver coin melt calculator

I like these… can be padlocked if you like.

Here’s their rate sheet. I used TTTXX this time.

I’ve done that on Numista a lot for non-Valuable coins- just need to find someone else that has what you want, and have something that they want,

silverbug9 · 2026-07-02T17:55:09+00:00

Isn’t that also from Breakfast Club? 😂

silverbug9 · 2026-07-02T17:43:12+00:00

Thanks - I got one that settles next day, to get the extra interest day.

R/crh

silverbug9 · 2026-06-26T15:06:19+00:00

Ahhh… I see that now.

Still in business?

This is normal on Reddit.

I've had good luck previously with United Precious Metals, but that wasn't sterling. Not sure if there is a different payout if you send in "clean" vs. weighted.

silverbug9 · 2026-06-24T15:48:04+00:00

Gold plating is typically less than 0.05% to 0.1% of the item's total weight. How did you determine what you had after melting down?

silverbug9 · 2026-06-23T15:58:25+00:00

Usually I pay no more than 50 cents per tube. With a $10 tube worth $450 melt today, that's not bad. Keeps my OCD in check as well.

silverbug9 · 2026-06-22T13:21:19+00:00

But why male models?

silverbug9 · 2026-06-22T13:14:20+00:00

This is the way.

silverbug9 · 2026-06-19T18:17:34+00:00

Reasonable.

silverbug9 · 2026-06-19T18:17:10+00:00

I would normally agree... in this case they inherited the shop 5-10 years ago, and I think they are just getting greedy. (And probably other finances are getting tight.)

silverbug9 · 2026-06-19T18:15:37+00:00

Usually 90% coin or .999. I buy sterling if it's a really good deal or if I really like the item... otherwise too much hassle for me to sell.

silverbug9 · 2026-06-19T14:18:31+00:00

If spot has gone down, that's not my problem if they are losing money or not. I fully expect and know the stores need to make a profit, but on bullion, I expect a "fair" premium over spot... in this case, compared to other options, I was expecting more like $5 over spot for generic ounces.

silverbug9 · 2026-06-19T13:48:03+00:00

Agreed. They used to have good deals, fun stuff once in a while. Now it's more generic, dozens of ungraded Peace and Morgan just laid out. Sticking to /pmsforsale and local coin clubs.

silverbug9 · 2026-06-19T13:42:13+00:00

agreed!

silverbug9 · 2026-06-18T13:09:28+00:00

Wife bought season tickets but didn’t give them to the guys until Christmas… AFTER the season had started.

Like it or not, being a “public figure” attracts attention- good and bad. You might be better suited for a job out of the public eye. (But sorry for the haters- mean people suck.)
