    i had a list of the percent markup for fractional PM coins somewhere... idk where it is... i think its 19 percent for 1/10 coins... not positive

    No and no.
    The mint has produced enough bullion so called "coins". The market is saturated.

    At the KY state show today generic 1/10 oz silver rounds were going for $4 apiece. I would expect a US Mint 1/10 oz ASE to be at least that much then.

    I actually like the idea of a half-ounce silver coin. Smaller than that, I say no. Just HMO

    Look at the premium on copper Liberty "coins" being sold! Makes the US Mint silver markup look cheap.

    With silver getting up there in price I could see a 1/2 ounce but 1/10's would be a waste IMO.
     
  12. Yes, but only after they produce the 1 oz. proof and burnished ASEs. TC
