    I've been tempted. At one point years ago they were paying 75% of melt for silver and trying to sell it at 150% of melt. If I could sell to them today for full melt, I'd be willing to look the other way on the 100% markup.

    40 quarters 800.00 it was a joke pricing right! nobody who deals in silver at all knows they can get it allot cheaper or I know I can and I am not near as smart as any of you all period..

    It’s all priced the same, $9999.00. The quarters are listed as Sterling. Are they serious or is this their idea of a joke?

    I'm assuming the $9999.99 is basically an "ask for current price" flag. They had the same price on nearly everything in the case. I didn't ask, because their prices lately have been uniformly unreasonable.

    They do seem to sell stuff at inflated prices, at least sometimes - stuff does disappear. They aren't stupid, but they also aren't specialists.

    This is the same place that had worn Morgans for $23 each when the going rate was probably under $20, and let me have an 1895-o at that price. They also had a cleaned 1911-D half (not quarter!) eagle at a standard price, at a time when it was worth a good premium. That premium's probably gone now, but I'm still well in the black on that one.

    Another Fun Fact about Silver.

    Silver is the most conductive metal on Earth , both for electricity and heat. This is due to its crystal structure and single valence electron, which allows it to transmit electricity easily.

    For specialized applications nothing beats silver.

    Depends on the application.

    Silver is most conductive by volume, but it's only about 6% more conductive than copper, while costing well over 100 times as much.

    Aluminum beats them both by weight. It's only about 60% as conductive by volume, but silver's four times as dense. So if you have to carry electricity while minimizing weight, aluminum wins.

    Gold is a great conductor too, but none of them have a higher electrical conductivity than silver.
    Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any element, with a conductivity of

    6.3×1076.3 cross 10 to the seventh power
    6.3×107 S/m, followed closely by copper.

    Silver is currently used in over 10,000 applications. Sure, as silver rises in price cheaper substitutes will be utilized where they can be.

    Just crazy people selling because it’s so high. They’ll be sorry next year as it will continue to rise in price.
