Silver will calm down. Its not rare at all and the economy is getting better. I would be a net seller at this pont.
since the purity of ASE is all the same at .999 then I guess it does not matter much which year we get, right?
US Markets opening soon... Currently in EU/UK GOLD @ $1,077.80/oz. SILVER @ $15.37/oz Platinum @ $1503/oz Palladium @ $419/oz
That's high, even when silver was averaging about $18.50...let alone $15! Anyways, it probably sounds like the dealer bought them high so they can't sell them too low. Or they can sell at current spot price with a huge premium....
Where are these sold for less? They are not. The point I am making is silver is a HUGH!!! DUD Just my thought. Kindest Regards.
Lots of places, try Apmex now $18.81 each plus s/h, so buy in bulk and the price point goes down... or mintproducts.com $19.13/ea. But don't just take our advice, take is from Smokey and the Miracles
I see you are in NY. I can imagine how many coin/bullion dealers you have locally, right in your backyard. I suggest calling a few. They will tell you, $22-$25 an ASE, but if you state that you aren't just buying one and that you are thinking of buying a whole roll, you'll find the prices comes down a bit. I'm sure you can find 2010 ASEs locally for $20.50 with a bit of searching.
I can't speak for Buffalo and much of upstate in terms of physical retail coin shops being abundant, but as far as the nyc goes, brick and mortar shops are far and few in between. The population density of the urban areas of the northeast does not imply an abundance of retail coin shops, mainly due to rents and overhead to run these businesses. Auction houses on the other hand and dealers of very high end numismatics is another thing all together.
