[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 2312642, member: 15488"]As a major buyer of World Silver coins (including Bullion) I learned a long time ago not to make a purchase based on Premium over melt. I buy what I like. Sure it's fun to make a score now and then but if I only focused on that I would never add to my collection. As it is, I have many coins in my collection that are worth more than what I paid, and much more than melt. As well as some that go the other direction. My best answer to why some regions demand higher premiums is 1) Supply and demand and 2) Quality of the product(milk spots) One way to get ahead is to look at mint and proof sets which have large silver or multiple coins. 1970 Austria Proof set for $16.50 that has 1.646 oz. of silver. 1974 Jamaica Proof set for $30.50 with 1.9138 oz. 1978 Panama Proof set for $100 with 5.6931 oz.
