Does Heraeus bring a premium?

I recently acquired a pair of Heraeus 10oz silver bars at just over spot. Westminster mint sells them for 181.20 with silver at 16.05 at the time of this writing, do these generally bring a premium over spot (if so, how much) or is Westminster a little on the high side?

Thanks in advance.



Remember that the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

    Heraeus .... only a slight premium... very common bar, you can buy them on eBay for about $1.50 - $2.00 over spot.
    Degussa.... large premium....good luck in locating 10 oz bars. 1 oz bars will set you back $30 - $40 per bar.

    APMEX used to carry 10 oz. Heraeus bars. I don't remember how much over spot they sold them for (maybe $1 over?). Heraeus is a great brand and very respected worldwide... but it's still not well known in the US.

    They (Apmex) has 100 oz Heraeus bars, or will soon, according to their website.

    Incidentally, Heraeus is based in Hanau Germany:
