<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 26347943, member: 76194&quot;]Well, out of stock anyway. Not sure if it will be back in production. At any rate, I wouldn&#039;t pay the $445 asking price. This was a find from the generic bars bin that this local dealer was about to send out to the refiners as he was swamped with a lot of silver oversupply from people selling in the past week. I paid $385 for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the rise in silver yesterday afternoon and today it is almost worth that in melt already. That&#039;s the importance of snapping up stuff as close to melt as possible, something I always try to do. Leaves me with a stack of random bars and rounds, instead of nice neat uniformity, but everything I&#039;ve bought over the last year was either $1.20 above spot on the high end, and a few cents below melt on the low end (the below melt was constitutional &quot;junk&quot; silver.) If I were to tally the average premiums I paid on my entire stack, it would definitely be just under $1 per ounce.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did make one exception recently though [USER=59677]@Burton Strauss III[/USER], I did get a roll of 20 AU 1921 Morgan Dollars for $33 a piece a week ago when silver briefly went down to $36. A dealer was running a special on them. But I was willing to do that because I thought the extra premium for nice Morgans was worth it and that as more junk is melted premiums on them will probably increase over the decades, so into a safe they go for at least 20 years hopefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m glad I ran into that deal locally too, because a few days before I almost pulled the trigger on the $35 a piece special Monument Metals was running on 1921 Morgans, but decided to hold off to see if I could find any better around here. Helps to live close to a large metropolitan area with many bullion dealers/coin shops. You are always bound to find something with a little patience and lots of driving around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
