That looks more like the start of a coin accumulation than collection - would you be buying them to collect and enjoy, or to try to make money on them?

It's great for an offer but looks so low that it will be passed. It's not too tough
to get bid for the mint and proof sets and it's easy to get 80%. It might be a good
offer on the Ikes unless they're '71, '73, '76-P tI, or '77-P.

It's a fair offer for a non-motivated buyer though.

Well, I did some more figuring, how does: $515.00 sound?
Thanks,

<< <i>10-1971 Uncirculated Silver Dollars: $25.00 >>


are you sure these ikes are silver? i.e. out of either the blue packs (uncirculated)
or brown boxes (proofs) those are 40 percent silver.
and the other 2 rolls of uncirculated silver dollars, are they morgan, peace or are you
calling eisenhowers silver?

StopMotion

The rolls are 1971 Ikes.
No, that is what the guy is saying they are. I don't think they are silver.

I think your first number was closer.

Ask him what he wants ! Then counter or say : YOU ARE TOO GENEROUS and pay him.
I'd be interested

StopMotion

That's the problem, he doesn't now a price. He just wants offers. He already has 1 and wanted to now mine.
I guess I'll shoot for: $425??

Not trying to be harsh here, but if you dont know what to offer for things, you shouldnt be buying them.

Be careful.
