Yup. I bought some more junk US dimes last week.

Could you offer a little insight based on your experience in buying junk silver?

Where is a good place to buy - local or on the net?

If on the net can you name a source?

Do you purchase junk coins by weight or by face value? I see them for sale both ways.

Do you expect to buy at the spot price or do you have to pay a premium?

Thanks for any info you can share.

I buy only legal currency coins and I use the Melt Value as a pricing guide.

This past week I bought 90% silver dimes at a yard sale from a prepper who had fallen on hard times. I paid $1.60 for each dime. My buddy bought his silver rounds but I don't know what he paid.

Last year I bought dimes from a guy who advertised on Craig's List and was set-up an a flea market in small-town near by. I paid him $2.30 per dime at that time.

I have a cache of 90% silver dolars that I've bought at prices ranging from $11.00 to $22.00 each.
