Thread: Typically, how much do you pay over spot for silver?

It's just because people are looking for a bargain.

Mapleleaf... read my post above yours. I am still paying $1.00 over spot.

I've been looking for better deals and I'm about a dollar away from spot. For example, I got 3 1 ounce bars for 45$ with free shipping. Not too shabby

Should be able to get silver around 1 to 2 over. Less if you are buying 50 oz or more. Silver Eagles around 2 - 3 as the mint price is LIME + 1.50 to tier one dealers. 90 though is under melt right now. Take spot times 715 and that will give you what a full weight bag of 90 melts for. Bag must weigh a full 796 oz though. Slick coins will of course be less.

right now the apmex is selling american eagle bullion silver dollar at $1.79 over spot. it will be a common date. 2009 eagle is selling at $1.99 over spot. 20 pieces minimum.

1-2 dollars here- depending on the type of coin.
