    If I can't find anything I need from the store, I will get gift cards then exchange for cash somewhere else.

    Of course.................I'll have to think about what I would buy :smile:

    I would likely add to my bullion stack.... unless there was something there that absolutely jumped out at me....does not often happen and adding to the bullion stack is a nice hedge. Cheers, RickO

    I left out the part about wanting the 1936 half specifically.

    a nice bust half and or a bust quarter.

    I’d much rather have cash than store credit. Platinum ought to be very liquid without much spread so I can’t imagine you’re going to get much more in credit than you would in cash.

    Like you need an answer ? Seriously ? Start selling and never count your chickens until the eggs are hatched.
    Don't ask for store credit, ask for overtime.

    Bulk silver dimes and quarters.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Sure wouldn't be bullion. Maybe a AU58 or low MS 1955 DDO Lincoln Cent.

    When the SHTF my circ 1964 silver quarter is going to get me a moldy roll while your 1838 AU will get you 2 rolls. :(

    If I had to spend it probably modern commemorative $5 gold at or near melt or junk silver. Both are as good as cash when you find something else you really want and better than cash if the dodo does hit the fan.

    IF you are getting more in credit than if you took a cash commission, then I would consider a collector coin only if they have exactly what you want at a good price. Otherwise, take bullion that is very liquid.

    Store credit in an overpriced store is no bargain....

  • ChrisRxChrisRx Posts: 5,619 ✭✭✭✭

    Just save a little more and buy the store.

    Having just sold some modern commems, I would caution AGAINST buying any to flip. Maybe if you are holding long term, you may be ok, but if planning to sell anytime soon, not worth it.

    I got 98.5% of spot when I sold. That was considered a "good" price, selling to a dealer.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I hear what you are saying. I wouldn't be buying them to flip. I can sell for 98% or 98.5% at my local monthly show and typically buy at melt when they are available. So... 1.5% or 2% spread if I want to sell and buy something else or possibly make a small profit on a small increase in the price of gold.
