Title: Selling Silver Coins
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 28, 2012, 10:39:16 PM
So what is left of the current stock is the Two 1928 Peace Silver Dollars, and the 1900 and 1921 Morgan silver dollars.

PRICE REDUCED For the 1928 Silver Dollars (1 Oz 90% Silver) I'm asking 55 BTC each Shipping will be covered Within the U.S (It will be an additional Bitcoin if you want it insured)
These 1928 Silver dollars are missing the mint mark (as shown in the picture) meaning they are from the Philadelphia Mint, making them much more rare. Heres a link if you would like to check it out.

For the Morgan Dollars (shown in the top left of the All Coins Image) I'm asking 6 BTC for the 1900 and 8 BTC for the 1921(shipping included within the U.S)

If you are outside of the U.S, you can still partake, but I will require that you pay the difference in shipping cost

If you have any questions or are interested in buying any, please reply or PM me.

These are two 1928 Silver Dollars, they each weight 1 oz, and are 90% silver
They are the most rare variety, as you notice from the picture, they are missing a Mint Stamp, meaning they are from the Philadelphia mint, these are the most rare, feel free to look up their values.

Tell me a bit more about the radio.  What is the condition of the case?  Does it work?  Is the sound clear or does it have a buzz to it?



Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Old Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 12:56:40 AM
The radio case is in great shape, there is one scratch on the top right of it about 1 inch long, you can see the extent of the scratch in the image, but besides that, I can't find any other damage. The Radio worked up until a few days ago but isn't working right now, but that is because it needs replacement tubes, its routine maintenance and has to be done from time to time (Replacement tubes run around $10 on ebay). The sound quality is pretty clear, if there is any buzz, that just means the electrolytic caps are probably dried out, which is another one of those maintenance things, and can be replaced easily/cheaply enough.

is that 4btc for ALL of the half dollars or 4btc each?


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Old Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 01:09:58 AM
4 BTC each, sorry let me clear it up in the original post.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Old Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 02:13:25 AM
Everything clarified I believe. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AA5-50C5-35W4-12BE6-12BA6-12AV6-radio-vacuum-tubes-set-/251035763131?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3a72e5c1bb#ht_500wt_1287 if you check here, for $10, these are the majority of the tubes needed to replace the old tubes. Besides the 35W4, that is pretty much the set needed to repair the radio.

I know there is a bit of collector value on some of those coins.... but I don't know about THAT much.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Old Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 03:26:58 AM
Now I'm not gonna say this is 100% correct, but this + ebay has shown that I'm pricing conservatively.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100724182937AAK7H6d

I'm pricing them at $28 lower than slightly worn which is about where I would classify these coins. I did mention that they are missing the proof marks, which makes them from the Rare Philadelphia mint

And here is one selling on Ebay of the same condition with the same mint location

Honestly people really care about the silver more than the collector value.

I would buy all your silver, as I admire US junk silver but your prices are much too high, about 2x spot +

the only people nowadays who pay for numismatic value are fools, unless your coins are in the MS range


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Old Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 03:49:57 AM
My prices are just set at what the coin sites say they are worth, mixed with what I see them going for on Ebay, I am open to offers though. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, so I just go by what I see. Do keep in mind, all of these coins are 75-110 years old, so yes they should have some collectors value.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Vintage Radio
Post by: ccliu on April 29, 2012, 03:58:40 AM
thats exactly what I thought when I brought some nice looking canadian junk into the coin shops, but they offer me the same for a battered one.

Like I said, flawless = more. if not, then its silver value.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Vintage Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 04:30:14 AM
I'm going to have to pass, I can lower the 6 coins to 3 BTC each ($15 each) because I had thought silver prices were a little bit higher, but I can't do better than that.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Vintage Radio
Post by: GroundRod on April 29, 2012, 04:31:46 AM
@SaltySpitoon - Big Silver fan myself, and just want to comment that its refreshing to see such offers on here as this, especially from those with room for haggling on price & for those with bitcoins to burn, this type of trade is a spectacular deal.  Would be making offers if I had any bitcoins to sell, sorry all I can do at the moment is look!  ;)

Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 04:37:11 AM
Thanks, I appreciate the bump and the interest. A few of my friends and I pooled some of our things together to sell for bitcoins, and one of my friends mentioned that he had two shoe boxes full of silver coins, so we got him to part with a few for BTC.

Peace and Morgan dollars aren't 1 oz and half dollars aren't 1/2 oz


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Vintage Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 03:34:54 PM
The weights are accurate, I looked up what they are supposed to be, and I also weighed them themselves. And yes I am willing to use Escrow.

The 1942-45 Silver Half Dollars have sold!


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Vintage Radio
Post by: ccliu on April 29, 2012, 03:37:58 PM
forgot to tell you yesterday:

they may weigh 1 oz, but the coin is only 90% silver.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Vintage Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 03:43:02 PM
Yes I put that in my first post, next to the descriptions I mentioned that they are 1/2 oz and 90% silver.

"For the 1942-1945 half dollars (1/2 Oz 90% silver) SOLD"

Morgan and Peace dollars - 0.86 troy oz and have 0.77 troy oz of silver. Also 1921 dollar isn't a Morgan, but a Peace dollar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_dollar

The half dollars - 0.40 troy oz and have 0.36 troy oz of silver.

Fix your listing.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins, Clarinet, and Vintage Radio
Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 29, 2012, 05:25:38 PM
Thats a troy ounce. I just said its a half ounce, not half a troy ounce. The U.S Mint says they are .5 Ounce/1 Ounce. And the 1921 is a Morgan, check out the picture, its the same as the 1900 one. The 1928 ones are Peace

Again, check the original post, I stated that they are 90% silver right next to each description/price.

Hey guys, we are working together on this, but saltyspitoon isn't at his pc right now, we are also selling a 1994 silver eagle dollar - https://imgur.com/tNvUi,BDvXh - It's in near mint condition, kept in a plastic case with the exception of this image. This will be added to the main post soon, and higher res pictures will also be available if requested. We're asking 8 btc for this coin.

Holy shit man! you have the 1921's?! I was actually talking to my coin guy this afternoon about those. Their Helllllla fuckin rare. He said about only 12,000 were made, and made their way into circulation. Definitely a great coin to own!


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins
Post by: SaltySpitoon on May 03, 2012, 12:11:49 AM
Wow thanks for the info, I didn't even notice that it was rare. I had someone mention that they didn't make them in 1921, but I figured they were just being stupid. The only problem is, the people on the BTC forums don't tend to invest in collector coins, they just want coins at spot price.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins

They sell for 70$ retail.

Some of the earlier morgans sell for up to 1,400$

Cool thanks for the tip, I'll sell mine for $40 in BTC, thats probably more realistic via the forums.

Got everything fast, just as described and seller was very willing to work with me to make sure I got what I needed. One suggestion tho - at least wrap up the loose coins in news paper - having them jingle about in postage can cause damage (not that there was any).

Thank you! Please let me know if you have any more nearer spot price silver to sell. I hope to business with you again.

Thanks, sorry about that, I was out of bubble wrap, and the padded mailer felt as if it was holding them securely. I'll make sure to get more shipping supplies, but I'm glad everything got there on time and undamaged.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins
Post by: TECSHARE on May 05, 2012, 04:22:47 PM
I find personally a scrap of newspaper works just as well :) no need to waste money on bubble wrap. Just use the junk mail. At least that way it will be good for something.


Title: Re: Selling Silver Coins
Post by: SaltySpitoon on May 05, 2012, 04:27:35 PM
Alright will do. Thanks. As for junk mail, something like a credit card offer, or license renewal with a SSN?
