[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3361427, member: 27832"]You seem to be disagreeing about the definition of "silver price". As I understand it, the spot price of silver (or anything else) is mostly driven and set by paper contracts, and the only physical delivery such a contract can demand is the Good Delivery Bar. Mr. Google is accurately reporting the closing spot price on that date. If buy and sell prices at your local shop are higher or lower than the spot price, that may reflect important information about the market, but it doesn't mean the spot price is wrong. Edit: according to the first site I found with historical data, that $49.45 closing price was on a Friday. The next Monday, it closed at $49; that Tuesday, it closed at $41.55. I'm glad I wasn't frantically buying up silver at a coin show that weekend...[/QUOTE]
