At what price do you feel you would not buy junk silver.
 
Hmm good question. The most I've spent on junk silver would be around 22 dollars per face value. Currently I'm buying junk at 17 per face.
 
I bought some for $16 on Friday. I'm sure it will go up this week. I don't know what my cut off point is. 20 face might be it.
 
Right now 17x (only for Mercs & WLH's and any G or better Barbers)

But if Silver was 50 Dollars an ounce I would maybe pay more.

I wasn't paying 16X face but could quite often.. If I do buy 90% I pay no more than 10% over spot, hard to find sometimes.
 
Well they went up on their junk silver today. $16.75. I believe spot should be 15.80 × face so I'm happy with only paying .95 over spot since I've been buying it for $16. So in the long run I've paid .20 cents over spot with silver prices $21.85. As long as it goes up I'm good.

I limit it at 10-11% over spot, depending on type, condition, etc. For basic junk I need 6-7%.
 
I've offered 10-times face (on 90% coins) to several people that had a few, and they were happy with that. I they ever question it, all I say is, " you going to spend your time & gas costs to take these few coins to a local pawn or coin shop and get Melt-20%, I can give it now". With that in mind, they change their mind real quick.
