With the recent spike in spot silver, I’ve had a number of readers contact me about making trades. For any of my current Elk Creek Company inventory, I’m willing to accept in trade:
Generic commercial bullion 1-ounce rounds right at the spot price of silver. ($66.24, as I’m writing this on Tuesday evening.)
U.S. Mint American Eagle 1-ounce rounds at $1.50 over spot.
And, since U.S. Silver dollars contain .7734 oz. of silver, I’m willing to accept:
Non-professionally graded AU or Better $1 Morgan or Peace Dollars at $49.50 each
PCGS or NGC graded (“slabbed”) AU 50 to MS60 (non-1921, and non-cleaned) $1 Morgan or Peace Dollars at $53 each.
PCGS or NGC graded (“slabbed”) MS61 or MS-62 (non-1921, and non-cleaned) $1 Morgan or Peace Dollars at $55 each.
I also take pre-1965 “junk” circulated 90% silver dimes, quarters, or half dollars at an unprecedented 49 times face value. ($49 per $1 face value — for example, four silver quarters).
Let me know what Elk Creek Company item(s) interest you, in trade. I greatly enjoy making mutually beneficial trades.
