If you are looking to sell junk silver coins, you have a number options to consider. The choice you make could make a great deal of difference as to what price you eventually get, so it pays to do your homework ahead of time.
The good news is that selling junk silver coins is relatively easy. They are small, easy to certify, and liquid. There are a number of major coin dealers that will buy junk silver coins from you, and the process is generally easy enough. The trouble with selling your coins to a dealer is the spread - dealers tend to pay less than intrinsic value for junk silver coins. In short, you're not going to get the full value of the silver content of your coins if you sell them to a dealer.

On Ebay, with some patience, you can sell your junk silver coins for at least their full melt value, and often at a small premium to intrinsic value, depending on current market conditions. The downside to this approach, of course, is it takes a bit more time and effort on your part. You'll have to take photos, post your listings, deal with bidders, shipping, etc.
