<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Del Pinto, post: 2251381, member: 73128&quot;]Although I think I agree with you, let&#039;s look at the big picture here. Please see another recent CT OP and note the cost of the product (1 Ozt .999 Fine Ag) : <b>$67./Ozt. </b></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-1-and-only-silver-bar.269318/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-1-and-only-silver-bar.269318/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-1-and-only-silver-bar.269318/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>How do you explain <i>that</i> &quot;bullion investment&quot; as legit (as members discuss it) while the &quot;State Silver Bar&quot; is (we agree) a con?&nbsp; Does <i>anyone</i> on that thread get it? I mean, $57./Ozt for the State Silver Bar is certainly and <i>obviously</i> cheaper, right?&nbsp; If a ludicrous premium is acceptable on that, why not this?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know this to be true, but I wouldn&#039;t be surprised to learn both art bars were minted by the same shop, say, the Sunshine Mint. So IMO it&#039;s just a choice of private label retail products, same-same effectively. Agreed?</p><p><br /></p><p>What am I missing here, otherwise?</p><p><br /></p><p>o.k. I&#039;ll play devil&#039;s advocate now: for a private label outfit, driven by the same profit motives as merchants everywhere, <b>why </b><i><b>not</b></i><b> hype and charge <i>as much as you possibly can</i> for PM sold to coin collector rubes?</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
