[QUOTE="Otter, post: 741382, member: 3464"]10 or 11 dollars per ounce OR 10x face. Remember that $1 in 90% silver is not an ounce of silver..even the dollars sorta look like rounds :) While I accept that (1) dealers want to make a profit, and (2) there is 'cost' associated with converting 90% silver coins into 100% bullion, my recent experience has been that local dealers don't adjust their "times face" numbers up as fast as they adjust their spot prices up. Silver can move as much as a $1/oz and they were still paying the same 11x face where as their bullion price adjusted up. When you are dealing with the equivalent to 50 oz, it an extra $50 they keep and you don't get. I had one dealer try to pay me 11x face for war nickels when the actual ratio of silver to face was more like 17x. For that reason, I won't buy anything other than 100% silver bullion for silver investing purposes.[/QUOTE]
