wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 01:56 am I think I'm ready to dip into the silver market again, but I have a bit of a problem. I see that Austrian Philharmonics carry a low rate over spot, and naturally bars even lower. My question is this: Will philharmonics keep their numismatic "buffer"? Or when I try to sell them again they will be only bought at spot. As of right now I'm comparing prices on bulliondirect. If there's lower prices elsewhere, please tell me!

Education should be a life-long process. Edited by biokemist6 04/05/2009 2:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 2:22 pm Supposedly it's the second year of production, so mintage is still out of the question. I still can't find any mintage numbers for last year's run, but then again these carry the lowest premiums of any government minted silvers. Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 04/22/2009 10:48 pm I bought some Silver Philharmonics last year. I think that they will keep their numismatic value over bars. I think the design is great! 2009 versions have been selling from 25-27 dollars each on ebay. With spot a little over $12 right now I don't think that you would loose money with them. my .02 Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/22/2009 11:23 pm Really?! $25-27?! I guess there's numismatic demand after all. Nive of you to bring this thread back up again. My 33 coins are coming tomorrow! Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 04/23/2009 12:33 am well if you ordered your a little over spot you have me beat. I bought 15 last year at $18 an ounce (then spot was around $16.80). They are great coins! it's nice to have to go along with the gold philharmonics! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 04/23/2009 12:59 am I love the design on the Phils, but many people do not or are afraid to buy them due to ignorance (never heard of them because they are so new). Personally, I would stick to the bars because you get more silver per dollar spent, and they are easier to sell when you need to. Of course, I might suggest getting one Phil just to have it in your collection. :) Report this Post to the Staff
