Are older hard to find generic rounds or bars worth large premiums?

I understand limeted edition items can bring premiums but are silver rounds and bars from the 70s or 80s really worth big premiums? Any thoughts?

I've been looking on eBay and brands like liberty metals Provo Utah or liberty lobby I tried to put a picture here.

To me that's just regular bullion, but some of that stuff can be waaaaaay more per oz!

Welcome to the forums, by the way...

Thanks, had to put this hobby off for a while. Trying to get back into it.

@Baysideuph.... Welcome aboard... .The older silver bars tend to have collector interest more so than most rounds. There are collectible rounds, but those are more special interest than PM value.... Cheers, RickO

There's no cut & dry answer really... some do, many do not.
Name brands like Englehard & JM often do, but generic rounds only if they appeal to a individual collector.
I'm a collector but do not pay a premium - they are too abundant.

Yep those are nice. Always looking but on eBay they go for so much more than 2$ over spot more like $10 or 12

It’s not for sale, but I can imagine with an estimated mintage of 50, I'd bet this would bring a nice premium if I ever got tired of it:

Found in a lot of 1 or 2 hundred generic rounds!

Yes, Yes they are
2x spot.
3x spot.
4x spot.
Whatever the market will bring or the buyer will spend.

These command a serious premium

Wingsrule has some interesting stuff in the classifieds section.

Don't know is these bring a premium but they are somewhat unusual to find at shows.

Baysideuph · February 15, 2021 1:25PM

I was furtunate to find two of those at only $2 over spot months ago. Norfeds are nice..
