Why do coin shops buy only at weight-level-worth for silver coins?
I'd bought a collectible Lewis & Clark Comemorative silver proof coin from the US Mint a few years ago.
Recently, I took it down to the local coin shop curious to see what it might be worth.
The dealer there weighed it, and offered me the amount silver was selling for at the time.
When I told him I'd bought it for slightly more than what he was offering, he said they buy only at the weight value, but would not explain further.
Any collectors out there who'd be able to help me with this?
