Compared to a year ago, two years ago, and three years ago, premiums have absolutely crashed, and they are still historically high.
My point is that once mainstream sees the value of holding certain commodities , they begin to realize that it is better than stocking up on cheap potato salad in bulk..... or other bulk order products. Let me guess : YOU were one of those who bought thousands of rolls of toilet paper back when....?
So you admit to buying the stuff which you seem to abhor.
As to LCS vs. Costco,: it's that type of anti Americanism that you and others prefer. Fewer outlets from which to shop. Walmart Costco and Target. Down with Local coin shops.
You're hardly worth another word.

Costco is selling the majority of its metal online to existing stackers who just so happen to have a Costco membership. I've never seen anyone even looking in the Jewlery cases when I physically go to Costco. Shoppers are there buying bulk products. Yes, I buy my TP there, not by the 1000's but by certainly by the 100's. It's very good high-quality stuff. And by the way Costco is as America as it comes. Most LCS's lowball their sellers and severely overcharge their buyers. Who needs em? Certainly not me. Either get with the program or become a dinosaur. RGDS!

jmski52.... since blitzdude seems to have a secret but does not want to tell, try bullionexchanges.com. I think they are advertising a $100 FV bag of silver for $2163 or so with free shipping: as far as I can tell by some quick math, it seems to be a little under 5% premium (but do your own math to make sure!!!)
Or... if you prefer half dollars.... SD bullion has them for around 4.5% above spot. Seems to be quite a few sales going on with both silver and gold... are sellers expecting a continued sell off??

Looks like I might have bought some 90% silver at a good time. Thanks again tincup.
Do you want to discuss the difference between junk and scrap?
No.
I can write a coherent sentence.
Wow.
It was certainly a good time to buy the SLV prior to your junk purchase and the $0 premium was absolutely wonderful as always. Will be dumping again soon while you are looking for a buyer for something virtually nobody wants, especially at the premium you just paid. Thanks again common cents. RGDS!

I won’t need to be looking for a buyer when I decide to divest - there will always be an eager and liquid market for physical silver. You will be one of those scrambling to find a willing seller of the real metal at price levels triple what they are now. Your view is laughably short-term and weak.
You’ll be trying to figure out how to get your cash out of the system when the bond market locks up and the banks take a “holiday”.
By the time you realize that you’ve been “bailed in”, your paper will be tied up in a legal mess that will take a few years before you get a fraction of your devalued dollars back, if ever.
Don’t say that you weren’t warned. Ignorance is no excuse, and in your case I think that you will have a semi-religious experience and it won’t be a good one.

Bump because premiums have been a topic recently. Many folk who bought the high premiums of a few years ago may still be trying to breakeven, whle those who purchased low or no premium silver are realizing gains.

anyone who bought a few years ago is realizing gains. Any reduction in premium since then has been more than compensated for with increase in spot. Figure your profit/loss on final sale, not final premium.

ASE are cheaper today than when this post was made yet spot is much higher. They absolutely have NOT been compensated.

The short-term spike in premiums circa 2021 was an artificial anomaly that should be disregarded, just like when the futures price for a crude oil contract went to NEGATIVE -$40 per barrel.

I have never witnessed, or engaged in, an actual transaction of ordinary Silver Eagles where anyone paid more than $7 over spot.
If someone did pay $15 over spot in 2021 for a Silver Eagle, it was probably just one or two coins purchased as a graduation gift, birthday present, etc.

Apmex Spot = $29.64
90% coin : 5.03% Premium
1 oz Rounds: 11.8% Premium
ASEs : 23.6% Premium
(after a couple of "down" days in an "up" market
Compared to a year ago, two years ago, and three years ago, premiums have absolutely crashed, and they are still historically high.
I knew it would happen.
Only at APMEX. RGDS!
Are you really that dumb that you missed the truth of the post. Mainstream is buying at Costco. You need pictures ?
I buy from Costco as well, they are much more competitive than the LCS. It's a no brainer. What's your point? THKS!
Only at APMEX. RGDS!
Apmex prices are the basis for this thread. So, what is your point? It doesn't make sense to change the basis continually.

90% is at 5% over spot at Apmex.
Does anyone know of silver at a lower premium today?
I knew it would happen.
Yes. THKS!
Hey blitz, if you don’t have an answer, don’t bother with the snide posts. It’s less than helpful.
Does anyone know of 90% being sold a a lower premium than 5% at this time?
I knew it would happen.

Hmmm... if my calculations are correct.... seems to be between 2 and 3 % premium? If so, better hurry.... I'm sure blitz is buying some up!!
But does look like just quarters.... but..... sounds pretty decent.
Or... if you prefer half dollars.... SD bullion has them for around 4.5% above spot. Seems to be quite a few sales going on with both silver and gold... are sellers expecting a continued sell off??
Lol. You asked a question and he answered...truthfully.
You didn't like the answer the first time so you asked the same exact question? Lol
Now maybe you understand why it's important to ask the correct questions.
Reach out to forum member Michael Dixon. He frequently writes of having to scrap silver at spot or less.

I was inquiring about 90% silver, but if I come across some scrap silver, I might contact Michael Dixon.

This guy is ridiculous 🙄
Because soldi, unlike you, I can write a coherent sentence. I can also read jmski's mind and answer the question he meant to ask.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
90% is frequently referred to as junk. Do you want to discuss the difference between junk and scrap? At least scrap is pulled from the landfill.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
ASEs are listed at $2 less than in OP even though spot price is $3 higher.
Silver bars have mostly held the premium.

Soldi got it right.

100 oz Elemetal bar. Spot plus $.70
Are you buying,? What price point triggers keyboard ghosts into becoming online buyers ? As low as ..... $3125.
These threads are an exercise in futility.
It was certainly a good time to buy the SLV prior to your junk purchase and the $0 premium was absolutely wonderful as always. Will be dumping again soon while you are looking for a buyer for something virtually nobody wants, especially at the premium you just paid. Thanks again common cents. RGDS!

Decent sentence structure also. Excellent!!
However, previous market and economic cycles have proven buyers to be less than eager and markets to be quite illiquid.
