    I am still amazed at the spread between the spot price and what folks are asking for Silver Eagles.

    Normally the spread would be about $2; maybe $3 max. I am seeing it at $8 or more when in stock.

    Crazy

    Especially when other sovereign coins (Britannias, Krugerands, etc.) can be had for only about a dollar more than a generic silver round. It's just silver. Just because it's an "American" silver coin doesn't make it any more valuable (IMHO) than other sovereign coins. Just a demand thing I think.

    I keep track of my paltry pile on a spreadsheet on which I also track the spot prices and calculated Ag/Au ratios. When the premiums got out of hand I added a gold to silover ratio calc based on U.S. Eagles and Can. Maple Leafs. So as the spot ratio is something crazy in the mid 70s, the coin ratios is down around 60 or so.

    Agreed. I bought a few Eagles a while back just to get some 2021 type 2s. Otherwise it's been mostly Britannias and Philharmonics.

    I just get the rounds mainly. Right at pandemic start get a few grand worth at 18.20 added some more at 20 ish. Saw it rise a lot fall back and got more at 25 each.

    Get them local coin dealer. I think I have a maple leaf and a silver eagle but just because I splurged on the extra or he had a couple out and had the cash on me.

    I have a few that you can make change with chipping off squares like a candy bar.

    I have a few gun guns that like to sell a nice gun for silver rounds. Nice to have them or cash to offer up.

    I picked up 3 backdated eagles and a 90% half dollar today. It never seems like enough. I also have started buying stock in silver mining companies. No wonder I don't have any money right now.

    And now about $1,869.49 & $25.36. I think gold will settle down some but I hope silver is beginning a moderate run. Crazy that the cheapest 1oz round is over $29 when buying 20 or more.

    I hope you’re wrong. I want one more good buying opportunity for silver because I hesitated the last dip.
