After the new year I'm intending on going to goldmart and buying a $100 bag of pre-1964 quarters and dimes. It just happens to be convenient that the price is falling right before I want it ;).

What is everyone's experience for the spread between bid/ask on junk silver? Is it a higher % than gold?

I'm going to call goldmart at some point and ask them about what their buy back prices are.
