Hello,

I understand that dealers sell Bullion American Silver Eagles for a price above the spot price of silver. However, how does it work the other way around?

If I want to sell a bullion ASE to a dealer and the current spot price of silver is $16.87 should I expect to get less than that or at least that amount because of the spot price of silver?

Are Bullion ASE coins "worth" at least the current spot price of silver, to me that would make sense as to why these are investment coins.

Thanks,
Rich

Most dealers sell at $2-5 over spot, and probably buy at near or perhaps $1 or $2 over spot.

Local dealers here are buying at 50 cents under spot typically, but I know of one buying at spot, and one that is willing to pay 50 cents over spot.

If you don't need the cash right now snitchard,I would hang on for a short while as I see silver going back up soon which could add a couple more bucks to the deal.

It will also depend on the market. If I think the spot price will continue to go down I pay less than if I think it will go up. My buying price is generally $1.00 to $1.50 under spot and selling price is usually around $3.00 above spot. This is again dependent upon what I see happening on the Comex (crimex).

As others have said. There is no one answer.

1. Is your "dealer" hungry or well-fed? That will change the offer price
2. If silver drops a lot, you'll generally get closer to spot
3. If there is a spike in silver price, then you absolutely, must shop around. Because dealers/pawn shops will lowball you, or give you the price from last week, etc.

It's sad to say, but many of the coin dealers that have an actual physical shop (B&M - Brick and Mortar) rely on bullion to keep the shop open.

One of the first rules of coin collecting - establish a working relationship with at least one dealer. It'll help you when times are tuff.
