<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YoYoSpin, post: 2016003, member: 28100&quot;]Thought it might be interesting to open a discussion on the price (mark-up over spot) of silver products from the US Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 2011, on April 28 to be exact, silver spot hit a 31 year high of $48.58 per troy ounce. At that exact same time, you could purchase a 90% silver proof US Army commemorative dollar from the Mint for $59.95...a markup of $11.37, or 23.4% over spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, with silver spot at $15.97 per troy ounce, a 2014 Civil Rights Act commemorative dollar (with exactly the same silver content) will cost $54.95...a markup of $38.98, or 244% over spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Current markups on silver products from the Australian, British and Canadian Mints are in pretty much the same ballpark, or even higher, for limited commemorative type coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
