You got to take into account, many shepal gets sucked into that rare thing, BUT five half oz. bars, 240 an climbing come on that is ridiculous....
That calculates to about 100 bucks spot....

It looks more like "buy, dips, buy!"  |

I've seen $500-600 paid for 1 oz silver pandas but I'm very new to PM bars. Judging by the mass of animated icons pounding the virtual floor, I guess there's no such thing as numismatic value over bars?

There can numismatic premiums to bars, but paying more than double melt for a standard bar is pushing it. A commemorative Disney bar or some of the nice art bars is a different story.
There are very few Yugos out there. Paying big bucks for one isn't smart. If you can buy a nice old Vette instead, even though it may be commoner, that makes more sense.

I have walked into stores many times and paid $200-$500 for the coins I sell and collect. It is almost always followed by up by another customer (sometimes even another employee) laughing or asking me why I would pay so much for said coin or bar. Most of the time I just smile and say I collect them, but half the time I am selling them for 50%-100% what I just paid. Most of the time if you focus on one or two small fields you get a lot laughs or questions, but as I have come to find out there is some easy money to be made that way. It is also not a bad way to collect.

Yea sorry More would have been the correct way to put it.

 , DVCollector. Instead of "Somehow, paying $97 an oz for $40 silver doesn't strike me as buying into the dips". Maybe this should be, "The dips are buying at $97 an oz.!  On the other hand... it is good to know that I can make over 100% on the silver bars I just bought.  I've always wondered about the term "common sense". After observing the world for more than half a century, I find common sense all too uncommon. Edited by Ed_B
