Where is a good place to sell silver?

[bigtime400]

I was looking to unload some of my 40% halves. Anyone know know a good place? Kitco would send me a 1099 right? Not sure if I want to go that route.

Coin show. I was going to say Craigslist, but I've had several rolls listed at 25% below melt for over a month, they won't sell.

I was just asking this question recently. From what I hear, the consensus is either a coin show or AMPEX. AMPEX typically deals with large orders, so you might not get as close to melt value if you don't have $1000 face. You can probably forget about pawn shops or coin shops. I checked at several around here, and they ranged from $6 for a silver dollar (lol) to $11 per $1 face for 90% silver coins. Although I did manage to find one place that is buying at $14 per $1 face...

AMPEX, or American Metals Precious Exchange

I'll take them for that price.

When I sell I go to a coin/jewelry store in town and get a pretty good deal. I get under melt, which is understandable because they have to make a little, but not much under melt and I don't have to deal with mailing coins etc.

Heck, I will pay more then $6 for a SD! $6.01...

Pretty crazy. This was only about three weeks ago that I called. I guess the jerks are just trying to rip off grandma who doesn't know anything about coins. It's a very crappy way to run a business.

I just got 90% of melt at a coin show on sunday. You have to work the room, don't take the first offer.

Bulliondirect.com too. A reasonable price to get on 40% halves is $57 on $10 on Nucleo right now. ALmost 6X face just for the 40%ers. And the 90%ers are going for 15X face PLUS.
