US$471/roll any qty. That's about a US$4 or 20% premium per. About standard these days. But boy are they attractive!
Although the Philharmonics is an artistically pleasing coin, they have never demanded, since Austria decided to join the world silver bullion coin market, much of a premium over spot.

Yup both my local dealers treat them the same as generics in regard to buy/sell spread. I'd certainly take them over generics though, however not at a 20% premium. To each their own. RGDS!

And there was a time that the premium for silver eagles was mostly paid by the authorized purchasers who sold them for not a whole lot more than they paid. Funny how_ things change_.

I personally don't value silver by its looks. I look at the reputation of its source. Sovereign minted coins will likely follow the premium path that higher "quality" items have experienced. "Quality" is in the eye of the buyer, including my future buyer(s). When making a product choice it is not only about items with a lower premium (cost) it is also about what one thinks that item's premium will comparatively do in the future.
Bingo! I also believe this to be true.

Gutter metal better known to some around here as Ag is not even a "Precious metal" as constantly discussed by a small handful up in here. There's a reason gold is the metal of kings and gutter is left for the sheep. RGDS!
So you're saying I'm a sheep? Not all of us can afford to collect gold coins ya know.
I reached my desired lifetime goals for gold and silver in 2018. I have not bought anything since.
In late 2019 I purchased a larger home and sold my existing home in late 2020 when the real estate market was starting to catch fire. Good cash flow allowed me to pay off the 15 year mortgage in 2 years.
Since then I have tried to improve my $2.50 Lib PCGS/CAC set. Unfortunately my previously unpopular $2.5 series got popular with some serious date set collectors. Additions have been few and far between.
Even the older rarer poured Engelhard bars I purchased in the 2009 to 2015 period are now realizing crazy prices - I have given up on adding rare items.
I have NEVER been able to buy 999 silver bullion below spot at an antique store, antique mall, or pawn shop.
That is, until last week.
One case at the antique mall had these "bars" made in the image of current currency notes (one each of six different bill designs: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50).
The price tag stated that they were 4-troy-oz 999 silver each (which is correct). The price was marked at $100 per bar. Not bad, actually. $25 per troy oz. Then I saw the tag stated that all six could be bought for $500. Even better - $20.83 per troy oz. So I called someone over to show them to me. I asked if there was any discount for a dealer with a resale (sales tax) number. I was told that particular seller had a 20% discount off all their marked prices. So that brought it down to $16.67 per troy oz for 24 troy ounces of 999 silver. I was really surprised (and I bought, of course).

Professional retailers are fair game.
The 4-troy-oz 999 silver currency bars are fairly well known.
They routinely sell on eBay for about $120 to $140.
We all know Premiums for both Gold and Silver are very high so I’ve been buying better Grade Double Eagles. I know they are common dates but I love them.

Picked this up last month on our Buy, Sell & Trade - World & Ancient Coins Forum.
I like the mountains behind the portrait on those 20 Fr coins. Very pretty.
Silver is a step up from cardboard. I think lol

At least I have built up a nice pile of cash.
