Bars are cheaper but dealers discount upon sale. Eagles cost more, but are not discounted upon sale, generally. eBay seems to get good sale prices, however. Rolls of Eagles are trending $810 to 850 per tonite, 100oz bars 3.7 to 3.9k. This makes retail spot in a range 37 to 41.!
Amd to think gold was $35 an ounce for over 40 years. Silver crashed to less than $0.50 during the depression, $1.29 was the magic number that made it go bye-bye from the coinage.
You sure know your silver numbers! Nixon closed the gold window in 1973 when gold was at $35 and now silver is past $35
Something to chew on
Two Christmas ago ebay had a deal with Microsoft which was promoting Bing search. where ebay purchases got a 25% discount if you jumped through the hoops. This got the silver and gold sellers and buyers into overdrive
Anyone who can reel off those numbers has been around for awhile. Silver Wheaton (SLW) was $3.19 in December 2008. Today it is 45
What is Silver Wheaton you might not ask?
