I'd go with the ASE's as I like the look of them over some silly bar. On another note, when do the premiums go down?!?! YEESH! Most people are still selling eagles at $3-$4 over spot and 90% is still 12x or more.
Positive dealing with oilstates2003, rkfish, Scrapman1077, Weather11am, Guitarwes, Twosides2acoin, Hendrixkat, Sevensteps, CarlWohlforth, DLBack, zug, wildjag, tetradrachm, tydye, NotSure, AgBlox, Seemyauction, Stopmotion, Zubie, Fivecents, Musky1011, Bstat1020, Gsa1fan several times, and Mkman123 LOTS of times
I would take the ASE's, they have traded as high as $6 an oz. over spot so if that happened again there would be a premium of $84 on the 14 Eagles which would more than negate the 1 oz. difference. They are also more liquid and recognizable and carry a face value of $14 whereas the bars have no value assigned to them, then again if that was important Silver maples would be the bullion of choice as they would have a value of $70 Canadian.
Anyone who chose the ASE over the 5oz bars care to put their silver where their mouth is? You need to have 18 of these 5oz bars and a desire to lose 6 ounces of silver.

18 seems like a collector would only have that many. I doubt a collector of 5oz bars would trade. >>
Your statement is most likely correct. However, I do know of at least 1 board member who COULD do this trade if he was so inclined. But my wager is that he is not interested.
Most of my Silver hoard consisted of 90% Silver at one time Which I had been buying from the mid 80's all the way through 2003 but in the past few years I have been transitioning into .999 refined Silver of every shape and size consisting of Eagles and Maples which now account for 7,000 ounces but I also have Panda's, Brittania's Englehard bars and Prospectors, JM bars of various size, A-Mark, Homestake Mines and some oddball bars. I also still own a fair amount of 90% mostly Barbers, Walkers and Mercury dimes. I still like looking through 90% coins vs. 999 bars and rounds, sometimes you can find a few nice au Mercs or ua Walkers, sometimes a micro o Barber dime, double die reverse walker, double die washington quarter or overdate mercury dime.
I like 90% coins because its fun to look through and the children can have a fun time with it. Bullion=boring unless you collect odd silver bars and old pours.

Here's something fun to do, get a couple hundred dollars worth of half dollars from the bank and places some Barbers, walkers and Franklins in the rolls for your kids to find. Of course if they are bank wrapped you will have to open them up and wrap them in old style paper rolls.

<< <i>Bars, free oz of silver >>
True, but less than 6 months ago you would have taken a 10 gram chunk of silver over a 1 ouncer!
Based on today's $16.23 close
