You're comparing it to spot price. Spot silver prices are based on the price per oz for five 1000 oz bars, not individual 1 oz bars. The 1 oz coins and bars generally sell for a bigger premium over spot. It's basically like wholesale versus retail pricing associated with buying much smaller quantities. If you ever see a reputable dealer selling 1 oz coins at spot with no strings attached, a thread like that would totally blow up. The closest that you'll usually see is a seller offering a small number of them at spot price as an intro deal to attract new customers.

"Why Do I Have to Pay More than the Spot Price?
Simple Answer: Because "spot price" is the bulk rate for a large bar . Further, "spot price" does not include shipping, commission. or insurance to get actual precious metal into your hands. The large bars are, instead, held in a depository far away. Government and private mints buy large bars off the market and from refiners, then they produce "rounds" in the correct fineness before they are stamped out in a press under 100 to 150 tons pressure. Obviously, the smaller the coin, the more cost to mint it, per economies of scale. Analogy: A bushel of wheat costs much less than a loaf of bread; one is in the raw state, the other required careful work/cost to produce. Then, after the coins are minted, there are distribution costs that must be covered which also add to the "coin premium.""

Hey buddy, if you think you can buy physical silver at spot price, I have a beach front house in Arizona I'd like to sell you
Forums are to discuss a "deal". I'm arguing why I feel that it isn't the best value. If you only want blind agreement, perhaps you should move on.

If US dollars fail, we will be in a sort of trouble a safe full of silver eagles won't solve. That said, I'm not entirely vested in fiat either, but I don't own physical silver or gold.

...if it comes to a barter situation, I'd rather have ammunition, fuel, and food to be honest.

Were they up for $510? I thought the floor was 519.99 a few times.

This is still a good deal at this price...Big online silver dealer SD Bullion sells a similar item for $590-600. Also it's $25 more if you use paypal or credit card, which costco isn't doing.

APMEX is $622 right now and that price drops/climbs as spot prices change. Since it's the weekend, probably good at that price until Sun night. $549 is a great price if in the market for ASEs. If you just want bullion, then ASEs are not what you should be looking at.

I think your address will go straight to a "to burgle" list when the power cuts come
