<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1278589, member: 28550&quot;]I didn&#039;t find that to be true. A lot of shops I visited in the last 2 weeks had a surplus of silver on hand. I recently bought a little over 4 oz of foreign &amp; US Philippines silver. I just finished putting it all into my spreadsheet, and it looks like I paid about $29/oz based on the mintage weight (probably more like $31/oz for actual silver weight, after accounting for wear).</p><p><br /></p><p>There were some gems in there; including an 1838 1/2 Franc, an 1872 Gothic Florin, and an 1876 Newfoundland 50c piece... all at melt. One dealer&#039;s bin held another 10 or 20 oz of foreign silver, including about a dozen BU Australian florins... it was hard to tell myself &quot;No! That&#039;s rent money you&#039;re thinking about spending!&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
