Monarch Precious Metals is now selling 50 gram silver buttons..

They look great! The premium is reasonable, too.

50 gram bars

Not so sure about the "reasonable" premium....$3 to $4 above spot. After all, it's only bullion and I can get ASE's for a similar price.

Odd size, crude look, and expensive; no thanks:

I like them

I wouldn't mind owning one. I appreciate that they are trying to give the customer what they want but the premiums are a little high for my liking.

Thanks for sharing,

I wasn't pitching them so much as for investment but as a neat collectable or a gift, paperweight, what have you. Monarch's line is varied enough now it could be fun to try and get one of each bar size they make. Premiums on the larger bars are more in line with the market.

I bought two just for the reason mentioned, I already had two each of the other bars, with the exception of the kilo and 50oz bars.
Initially, before I had them in hand, I thought the look was nice, but in hand something looked a little off from how it looked online.
I think it could be that they blacken the seal for the pictures on the web site, providing a more contrasted look between the pressed Monarch seal and the bar itself, and that could be throwing it off for me.
Monarch's pricing tends to be a little on the higher side so I try, as best anyone can, to time my purchases around a discount offer and if possible a dip on the spot price.
The savings is small but it helps trim a little off of the premium.
All in all, I enjoy the two ounce size the most.

Nice, Johnny! Thanks for sharing. I'll probably end up ordering one myself.

Let's see the Rolex

Seriously though, I'm not sure what I expected when I saw the black writting, I do not like any bullion "Colored". Thanks for the photo/size comparison.

On a side note... When I first saw the listing I thought 50 grams was a troy ounce... Looking it up I found that 50 grams equals 1.60753733 troy ounces. With spot at $21.99 that makes the melt value about $35.34 right? Hmmmm... Premium still a little high but if they are "Hand poured" they do deserve a premium.

I like them as a collectable as you mention rather than for the stack. Thanks for sharing.
