Well I was figuring a premium when I sell of ASE's as well. My problem with bars is selling. If I walk up to you Mike with "a 100 ounce silver...
Lol, just like Justafarmer is "just a farmer", right? I believe most of us here realize college doesn't really teach common sense, and that is...
Man, that red one sure is a rare "quater"!
Just for clarity, I have never, am not, and probably will never be, a dealer. The only basis for my response has been from being a buyer of silver...
