If selling to a shop what would I get or should I get for 1987 and 1997 ASE's that had an eraser put to them or they were improperly handled and have scrapes and or nicks? Also several are milk spotted and wont dip off in ez zest or ms-70?

Thanks!

    a few bucks under spot for a single coin or two pain in the ass type deal, closer to spot for a roll or more of them

    Are you saying that dealers generally consider one or two coins a pain in the ass?

    I would treat a damaged ASE as scrap silver and I certainly wouldn't pay more than melt for it.

    not necessarily the coins themselves (although damaged goods such as these can be a pain) but those unrealistic people who expect to buy a coin or two at a shop for close to wholesale or sell a coin or two for close to retail prices.

    I recently traded a few damaged ASEs and some other things away for some gold, and it was an even spot to spot swap.

    Not to derail, but everyone interested in owning physical silver needs to keep the answers given here in mind.

    90% can be treated like a rented redheaded stepmule and it still exchanges and trades hands with little care. It sells for little if any premium and it's bought for little if any premium.

    Eagles always sell for a premium when new. But if they get so much as a big scratch, they're worth melt--or even less than melt according to some answers in this thread. Think about that. Less than melt.

    Most of us keep eagles in mint tubes and we don't think there is much of a chance they'll get abused. But it happens. And if you're buying for SHTF reasons, you're actually expecting them to get used and abused.

    I like eagles as much as the next guy. But I think they are deceptively fragile, for lack of a better word.
