<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 962075, member: 18828&quot;]That is an excellent price that you bought them at.&nbsp; You are exactly right Cloudsweeper in that most local coin dealers just treat silver art bars as .999 generic silver and will price them accordingly.&nbsp; I suspect that the reason why that is the case because most local coin dealers do not know about the rarity values of certain &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars.&nbsp; Most collectors know about the rarity values and will bid them up well accordingly on ebay but most of the ones that I want are too high of a premium and I do not want to pay that premium on ebay.&nbsp; That is why I prefer to buy most of my silver art bars locally at local coin dealers and at coin shows.&nbsp; You never know what rare &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars will fall through the cracks and end up on a dealer&#039;s table for $1-$2 over spot.&nbsp; These are the same rare &#039;70&#039;s silver art bars that will sell for multiples of spot silver on ebay.&nbsp; That is why I mentioned that if you ever decided that you wanted to sell them, then ebay is the best place to sell them at because these silver art bars that were minted by Silver Creations will get a fairly high premium over spot.&nbsp; If you decide that you want to sell them on ebay, then sell them individually instead of as a set because you will probably get more premium over spot per silver art bar.&nbsp; Even if I was wrong and they &quot;only&quot; went for between $25-$28 each on ebay, then you will have still ended up being ahead even after ebay/paypal fees.&nbsp; If you decide that you want to keep them, then that is a very good find and I will congratulate you on an excellent purchase for an excellent price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
