Curious how close to spot any shops are paying. For the hell of it, I should bring a 90% half dollar to the shop nearby to see how much they could offer me.

Frankly you can just call around and save time and gas money.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

:thumbup:

The shop in Spring Hill FL is paying the highest prices I've seen... waaaaay better than big boys like Apmex.

Excluding slabbed and MS coins, he's basically a churn and burn operation.

Silver:
Currently paying...
Spot for ASEs (must be BU, no milk spots)
-$1.25 below spot on .999 bars and generic
-$2 below spot on 90% junk
$28 for cull silver dollars
90% for 92.5 sterling

Gold:
Spot on 1oz Buffaloes
98% of spot on foreign coins and bars.
90% payout on scrap gold jewelry... probably the best you'll find anywhere.
Time is precious, stop wasting it.
