I ask the teller to order a box of halfs for next week. she says she has $18.50 in 1 customer roll and 17 loose. you betcha I'll take 'em. the loose are clad, but the roll----not so much, just listed them on Ebay IMG_0005.JPG IMG_0007.JPG IMG_0009.JPG IMG_0011.JPG

so how does $18.50 equal $24 or $18.50 equal $40.50? You got 4 40%, correct? $16.50 in clad plus $12 in silver = $28.50

I'm lost.

40% halfs in MS63 are REDBOOK at $8. these are EF to AU, I set start bid at $6, charge $1.69 to ship with my cost at $.98 postage, $.30 paypal transaction fee and $.30 bubble pack envelope. ebay paypal fee of 12.9% is $.99, if sold at $6 my net is $5.11 minus the fiddy cent of course. my LCS is currently buying qtrs. at $3, 40% halfs at $4.50, dimes at $1.25. have over 200 war nics and 110 Rosies I will sell for melt if AG ever stops playing dead at $21.

You lcs is buying 40% halves at $4.50? that's 150% of melt! Are you sure about that?

1967 PCGS Graded AU55 SMS Kennedy Half Dollar | eBay

A 1967 PCGS GRADED AU55 SMS KENNEDY HALF DOLLAR sold a week ago for $5.50. I dont think you will get $6 for your halves, but crazier things have happened on eBay. Good luck!

For as educated and detailed as that response seemed...all i can say is No. Your lcs is Not buying 40% halves for $4.50...
If they were, you should be buying 40%s on ebay by the truckload and selling them to them

and you will Not get $7.69 for a common 40%...

Last week I bought these three very nice 1968's for $8.51 + $1 shipping on EBay. The bidding was not fierce. Melt value $9.28.
