I would not rule out the crystal ball, but my guess is that the dealer has lots of customers who are paying 4 or 5 dollars over spot for eagles, so he was loading up.
I have found that when attempting to sell, there are dealers who would try and convince you that your silver dollar is worth only 57c because of scratches on it. Others are more fair.

i know silver is up but do you think its this high?http://cgi.ebay.com/American-Silver...826?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35abb3b89a
It's a joke. May be hoping someone thinks they will get one whole roll, but actually just get one ounce. Look at the seller's feedback/recent sales. A few days earlier the seller sold this one for $24.50 which is still high for one ounce.
