For a monster box of Silver Eagles they would give $1.00 per coin over spot. For junk silver they would give 24X face value. I thought that was pretty good. Is that in line with what you folks are seeing?
I haven't been shopping a lot of metals lately. Both prices seem very good. Everytime I go to sell, seems they are trying to rip me off. There is a good thread I have been gleaning from, "metals on the move". And a good reason why they might be paying more for physical silver.
I haven't shopped metals around in a while, certainly not since the recent upswing. I've experienced times when buy prices for junk were above spot, and times when sell prices were a bit below. Sounds like dealers are having to work harder now to lay in new stock, but I'm guessing they're still nervous about being left holding the bag when the top arrives and passes.
