Question by Michael S: Anyone bought sterling junk silver (mainly jewelry) on eBay?
Just saw some eBay listings for scrap silver, looks like a lot of jewelry on some of these listings, and I was wondering if any of you had had any experience buying scrap silver online on eBay or elsewhere in jewelry form. Coins are a bit easier to identify as the real thing, but I'm curious if any of you have had any experience with any of this. I'd be tempted to buy for the value of the silver:

I'm not at all interested in gold just because since it's worth so much more, there'd be a lot more people trying to pass off fakes.

Well, if you are going to buy then make sure the seller has a high feedback rating and has been a member of Ebay for a long time. By the way, if you want to know a way to get money back every time you buy something on Ebay, then send me an email.

EBay would not be the best place anyway. The coins may be culls which are low grade circulated coins that are not collectibles and have less silver due to wear. Finding a good dealer on line is a hit and miss thing unless one has done mail order with them before. With silver as high as it is one is not really going to get any deals at least on the silver part. It is true some collector coins that do not have a high collector value may head for the melting pot. Such coins are late date low grade, walking liberty 1/2's, as well as maybe the silver 1982 Washington 1/2 commemorative. I would try a couple of local coin dealers. Remember only the common older coins will be there not early ones for there vaules are still high enough, at least for now.
