For colored silver this is a unique HIGH DOLLAR set I stumbled on and had not seen before. I would prefer it non colored, oh well I didn't buy it, maybe down the road sometime if price is right.... A cool display case which counts for a decent chunk of that large premium no doubt like the star wars sets. Similar theme... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiji-2010-2...em4d04f74820 Edited by Silverhawk74

keeps throwing me off because he says 1Oz (capital O) looks like a zero and at a quick glance makes me think 4 x 10oz

Hey Kev, Have you seen those Star Wars 4 coin silver sets? One set is the side of goos with the Millennium Falcon, the other is the Dark Side with Darth Vader's helmut. They are down to $579 for both sets I am so tempted to buy them, here is the link. http://www.apmex.com/Product/67147/..._Rebels.aspx |

The profit margin on that set (and most especially on the fancy case) are a marketing exec's #1 lifetime wildest fantasy dream come true...
4 oz of silver for $350? The set and the case are nifty, but I think that price just plain hurts way too much for the average Joe's PM budget. It might be an OK retirement present for a retiring career Navy guy who spent 20+ years crawling around inside submarines, but I don't think it's going to be a go for us more typical types.
I've looked enviously @ that silver Millenium Falcon too, but the price again fences me out. It'd be more on my level if they made one of those in copper or pewter.

I agree 100% with everything you said FF, and great call on the limited Naval collectors who would like that set, great point.....

I would love the star wars set as well TBK and FF, but I think 400 would be way more better, and still a marketing dream come true at 100 per, and insane figure for me to fork out....
I would go get a way cool 10 oz rare old silver bar for 400 or less now perhaps, back down to the 350 an 300 range verses four oz. of collector silver.....

I actually cringed a bit when I saw this set as I've been watching them seeing if the price will drop any closer to the end. My dad was a submariner and I grew up going on them so I love this set. Make sure you guys leave one for me  Quote:

Its a little high, but its not that much higher then they sold for from the mint. The pert and new zeland mints make some fantastic coins, but most have a high premium. This sets actually cheaper than the average 90 dollar price from the Perth Mint for similar coins |

When you compare it to the cost of the Star wars New Zealand set at APMEX from TBK's post, it does look way cheaper eh at 370 total shipped. Sure it could be found cheaper then that perhaps.... |

I think I may be the #1 "Lunch at McDonald's" budget-constrained horse in this race. When I look at these heavily overpriced (around 3 times spot) fancy things, I have to compare them to "sensibly priced" things like common year ASEs, CSMs, Phils and Libertads - all of which have a premium of $2.10 to $2.60 per oz. I even have a local dealer who does more modest premiums than those. My budget mandates keeping my PM game-playing on a boringly "sensible shoes" level. If I ever win a $200 mil Powerball pot, it'll be time for a dump truck full of Silver Brittania, Silver Panda, Gold Buffalo and Gold Panda monster boxes but until then, I guess I'll be here in Ho-Hum City......

These types of things do certainly carry a hefty premium, but I dont see them as a bullion item. There more of a numismatic item which will get priced much differently.
That said I do wish the perth and new zeland mints would bring the price on these types down, they make a ton of great coins but the price of them means Ill only dabble in sets I find extra special or have a connection too
Im with you though no monster boxes here at the current silver price. And for bullion I stick to ASEs mostly but would get some others if priced right
