Any premium over melt for 90% proof coins?

grabba

I have a bunch of split up proof coins that are all in individual air-tite containers. If I wanted to sell them so I could buy bars and bullion, is there any premium for silver proof coinage versus junk silver? Thanks for any replies!

modern proof no like the silver state quarters in my opinion. Now the older stuff you can get a slight premium but thats it. With silver so high, the premiums have all but vanished.

lol...about 100+ split up proof sets from about 1960-1964 all in individual air-tite containers.

Going to sell here on the BST? I'd be interested in some of the Franklins for the right price. Probably wouldn't have any trouble selling the silvers in roll quantity deals at all.

Grabba, I track rolls of OBW and Proof Silver. I see prices all over the map from one auction to the next, and there is no pattern. Sometimes there is a premium for proof and sometimes the unc OBW rolls of 90% actually sell for more.

In general, it looks like there is a small premium for rolls of proof coins right now, maybe $20 or so per 7.23 oz roll.

Probably here. All are brilliant proofs. No cameos. A couple might have slight cameo contrasts but nothing impressive. A couple of the Franklins have 1-2 toning spots. They aren't culled or anything. I bought these over the last several years looking for cameos but with little success. Put them in air-tite holders to preserve them.

Thanks jmski for that information. Quite helpful. I'm just looking to put my silver in bars and ASEs for ease of storing.

My advice is to be creative and friendly and you'll probably have some success trading here without even having to have money change hands.

I'm a small fish but I'll trade you some generic 1oz bars for the right amount of proof 90%. And I'd bet a lot of the others here would do the same if it was fair to both sides.

at these levels, you will be lucky to eke out a few percent if you market them right, but depending on what your time is worth, it might not be worth it.
