Big Time Hunters

I have been selling old silver coins out of my store for years and have seen a rash lately of people who are willing to sell off their collections. I know that silver and gold are worth more right now, but I am only in the business of buying and selling coins, not buying them to just melt them down. Finding out just how much the people want when they are selling old silver coins is hard to deal with when they are just looking at them for the weight, instead of the actual value.

I have sent many who want to sell coins, to the local jewelry store and even the pawn shop down the street. I think that both of those places are buying by the pound but that is a whole other ball game that I am not willing to get into. Maybe if one of the other stores would offer to give me a cut of selling old silver coins to them, then I would consider working with them. So far, that has not happened and I am not willing to approach them first and tell them all about how people try and sell coins to me about fifty times a day.
