This news article is about the woman who was protesting outside of Silver Spring Coin. In the article she claims that at the local Senior Center in Grafton that the Sheepshead Games are rigged. In her list of grievances she claims in part that the scores are not properly kept, the seating arrangements are fixed, the door prizes are fixed, as are the parking spots in the parking lot. \r
\r
She has also used two screen names, judy.scholz.31 and judy in disguise. Just read her other reviews (one concerning fecal matter everywhere at the YMCA in Saukville) to see what she is all about. \r

The woman below who was protesting in front of the store does not understand the resale business. When selling scrap gold or silver which isn't in bullion of coin form one can only get a certain percentage of the current spot (current market value) price. \r
\r
\r
The price you get is 70-75% of the current market value, that is because the refiners will only pay 90% of the market value, plus an assay fee to determine the purity of the product, the fee means you need to have a couple pounds of scrap to justify the assay cost, which means you have to sell to a dealer. \r
\r
As for my expierences with this business, all I can say is that compared to all other coin and jewlery shops in the area, they have the best rates around, on everything from high grade coins to junk silver.
