re: Silver Bugs thread: Silver up 12% for the week on Black Friday started the journey

In general, a 6% premium is a little on the high side for silver bullion, but ASE’s do not incur capital gains taxes upon sale. This exemption is unique to ASE’s though, so some people believe paying a higher premium for them is alright.

Personally, I try to avoid minted coin premiums above 3% … but that is becoming more challenging now that silver is selling to a broader retail audience … harder to find deals.

I picked up 5 rolls of mercury dimes slightly below melt last week ….at a safe deposit box contents auction … the only lot I won out of 5 bids. Looking forward to inspecting those in the near term.
