    Default I'm converting Dimes and Quarters into gold, please help :)


    Take advantage of the drop in silver yesterday and pickup a little silver BELOW spot price for your SHTF savings plan.

    I'll include all the following coins in this deal:
    • 3 rolls 90% Silver Washington Quarters $30 (random years and mints)
      21.71 Troy Ounces of Silver with a melt value of $749 (Priced at $34.50/Tr Oz Ag)
    • 4 rolls 90% Silver Roosevelt dimes $20 (random years and mints)
      14.47 Troy Ounces of Silver with a melt value of $499 (Priced at $34.50/Tr Oz Ag)

    $50 face value for 25.5x face! These rolls have been opened, inspected and then repackaged in "CoinSafe" plastic roll holders. There was one Canadian dime, so I replaced it with a nice Roosevelt Dime.

    I also have several rolls of 40% JFK halves if you are interested in them. $100 each, 2.96 Troy Oz per roll.

    PM me if interested, I'd accept a PayPal "gift" payment or cash if you're local in the SF Bay area.

    I've had several successful trades on GIM and have a very good profile on that big gorilla online auction site.

    It is only four rolls. I would open them and prove that they are all 90% dimes. JMO though.

    You are selling silver that you haven't inspected (haven't opened rolls)?
    It might well be said that, while the free market bends over backwards to serve the needs and desires of individuals, the state merely bends individuals over backwards.

    I will, that's a good idea to make any possible buyers feel more confident. But I'd guarantee that all the coins are US 90%!

    I saw all the coins in the machine (NF String wrapping machine), all edges were silver through and through. But I can't tell if there were Canadian coins in there since they look the same.

    I'll open the rolls and put the coins in plastic tubes for the buyer! that way there is NO question about what's in them.

    Open, inspected and stored in CoinSafe tubes (or similar) for the lucky GIM member. This will save me the 5 Mercury dimes I offered! Thanks!

    Keep the silver. If something happens you will need small PM for everyday items. In the case of a currency collapse people are not going to make change for a 1 oz Krugerrand or an Eagle. A couple of silver dimes or quarter will buy your groceries for the week (if you can find a store that has something to sell).

    I totally agree with you that the coinage would be valuable in SHTF mode, but I'm quite over-burdened with dimes & quarters. So want to move a little of it into fractional gold. My LCS has the 1/10 oz Eagle for a decent premium over spot at $190 (spot + 10%).
