If you pay more than .25 on the dollar in a pawn shop, then you really don't know how to shop pawn shops.

They will ALWAYS take an offer.

Great. So $10 in fiat money will get you $40 worth of stuff and a silver dollar worth $10 will get you more than $40 worth, why?

The final "price" you paid had nothing to do with the fact you offered silver.

What is the pawn shop owner going to do with the silver dollar? Since "cash" is more liquid than silver, and more stable, what is the incentive to offer a premium?
