Yeh, they have been coming out of the wood works recently. A few ebayers are putting them 1 up at a time. I've bought 3 from
ebay and 2 privately. Have a total of 5. 3 sealed, 2 not. Love them little guys. I used profits from other sales to buy...which has kept my costs to a minimum. Some people use profits for more silver where I use them for premium stuff so my costs are small. Its all about investment for me so the amount of ounces I have isn't as important as how much out of pocket I have invested.
They do carry a really high premium for sure. Don't know if it's just a phase right now, which I think it is. I've backed off because the prices were getting just too high. I think I'm good with 5. Be nice to get my hands on the 10oz for sure. There has been 1 up for a while now. Talked to the guy...said he would let it go for no less than $600. In my eyes, that's too much. One thing to buy and oz or 2 at $60 but a full 10? Naw. This is the same reason why I haven't got the 1998 10oz silver maple.
I still cant find any history on the bars though...aside from the fact the I own 1, its like they never existed. I've seen on a few
ebay adds claiming a date like 1985 but have no idea how they were able to distinguish that date. I've asked and no replies. Still hope someone will discover some more information and pass it on.
