What would you consider "Competitive" for silver?

I'm trying to sell a few coins locally and I've spoken to quite a few people... The word "competitive" comes up, and then normally a % of spot. This is for pre64 coinage and a few rounds.


What do you consider competitive?

And... Realistically, not "100%"

    Here is the silver page from one of our dealers in Portland, OR. They are usually quite competitive.

    In NJ competitive for 90% is around 69% of spot.

    Hope this helps

    Just a fraction higher than my competition is what I would consider competitive for silver.

    93-95% of spot for a large quantity of 90% silver would be competitive otherwise just ship it to one of the big guys. They pay that.

    Smaller quantities can sometimes be tricky.

    Not all generic wounds are created equal. Let's say your generics are top tier.............$1.00 back of spot would be reasonable.

    Agree. If you need the cash that's a different story. But I'm holding at this point.

    If melt for 90% is considered to be .715 (71.5%) times spot, then 69% seems pretty fair. MJ mentioned 93-95% of spot, where I think he likely means 93-95% of melt, though I don't want to put words in anyones mouth. Are my numbers off here?

    If no basis is stated, then 69% of anything is a bad deal.

    69% of spot would be $32.90 x .69 = $22.70/oz.

    69% of melt would be $32.90 x .715 = $23.52/oz. x .69 = $16.23/oz.

    If the basis is $32.90/oz. @ 100% purity, then we are talking about something different.

    I believe he means .69 of spot equates to 22.7 x face.

    Joe, that equates to a spot price of $32.90/oz. on a 100% basis. ($22.70/.69 = $32.90)


    It's impossible to know what he meant, because he didn't state his basis.

    What he said was 69% of spot, which is not the same thing.

    69% of a spot price of $32.90 is $22.70/oz. on a 100% basis, which is a bad deal.
