<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zuhara, post: 869022, member: 23099&quot;]Paying attention to the buy sell price is great. But currently at gold dealer.com, Eagles, Maples, and Philharmonics --the three most common silver bullion coins--all have the same buy sell spread: <a href="http://www.golddealer.com/bullionpage.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.golddealer.com/bullionpage.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.<b>golddealer.com</b>/bullionpage.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And at Apmex it is much the same, depending on what particular format of these three coins you are buying: <a href="http://www.apmex.com/APMEXTop40/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com/APMEXTop40/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.apmex.com/APMEXTop40/Default.aspx</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I don&#039;t necessarily agree that Eagles are the hands-down best buy. Although I do understand why they have their fans. At both places you would appear to do better with some of the rounds or bars; the Apmex 1 ounce rounds have a $.84 buy sell spread, and the 100 ounce Academy bars $.80.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you look a little further, it becomes somewhat slippery, particularly at Apmex, whose buy sell prices on their main page apply only to quantities over $10,000: if you go to the pages where the individual coins are sold, the spread starts to widen considerably for small quantities. At Apmex, the buy sell difference for Eagles widens to $1.94 if you are buying fewer than 20. Of course the sell price does go down once you are buying larger quantities, but specific buy prices are not listed. One would assume it&#039;s proportional, but that doesn&#039;t seem to be entirely clear depending on when I check the site. The same applies to the Maples. So in my opinion it is a little more complicated than just Eagles are the best buy, particularly when their premiums really start to go up which they have been known to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
