Today I decided to sell about 10 % of my Junk Silver Stash. because at 74 Years Old..why the f**k Not ?<\/p>\n

These were 1964 Quarters ..90% Silver …feels like REAL MONEY……heavy metal for sure<\/p>\n

After researching what these things should go for I called my usual dealer and asked what they would pay <\/p>\n

ONE 1964 US Silver Quarter has Silver Melt value today of $5 US Dollars ( let that sink in )…Thats a 2000 % increase over face value !<\/p>\n

Which is $7 Canadian<\/p>\n

But the dealer said he would pay about $4.50 Canadian per coin…I was shocked and hung up fast…crminal !<\/p>\n

I called another local Gold Guy…He was a little better but only a little He said he would pay 80% of the melt value but that 10% of a melted coin’s silver is not recoverable so he would pay 80% of 90% of the melt value…about 75% in total = $5.50 Canadian<\/p>\n

I called another dealer in Toronto and Voila…They pay 95% of the melt value…which turned out to be $6.60 Canadian per coin….<\/p>\n

I hate the City but I took the trip to downtown Trawanna and I sold just before the price dropped ( first time ever I got that lucky).<\/p>\n

So the point is…when it comes to SELLING junk silver it really pays to shop around !<\/p>\n

These guys actually blew me away !<\/p>\n

I walked in…The Guy took a breif glance at a couple of them ..then weighed the coins… … 27 pounds…did the calculations…Paid me in Cash. Bam !<\/p>\n

NO ID requested<\/strong>…thank you very much…Total annonymity<\/p>\n

I’m not posting the Dealers name but they are a huge operation and have been there for decades <\/p>\n

Damn..what a great experience<\/p>\n

…………<\/p>\n

Quick calculation<\/p>\n

in 1964 the price of a gallon of gas in the USA was 30 cents ( 1.2 Kennedy Quarters)…Today it is 3.50 (14 new quarters)<\/p>\n

So in 1964 you could buy 5 gallons with six quarters ..Today you need 70 Quarters for 5 Gallons<\/p>\n

Thats amazing enough BUT :<\/p>\n

If you used 1964 Quarters Today… Hypothetically you could buy 5 gallons of gas today<\/strong> ( $17.50 at todays price ) with 4 of them<\/strong> ( $20 melt value) and get enough change to buy a large coffee …to boot . 1 DOLLAR FACE VALUE IN 1964 QUARTERS BUYS 5 GALLONS OF GAS AND A COFFEE !<\/p>\n

Let THAT sink in ! <\/p>\n

I think I’ll try that and see what happens … \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

FULLY DESTACKING<\/p>\n
