Quote from Bigbent7 :
The premium over spot is usually what the dealer profits and the consumer loses. Depending on availability and market, even when you sell back to the big online PM dealers, you will be selling at close to spot and they will be reselling at spot+premium. You could try selling on the secondary market to get a higher price. The PM market is heavily manipulated and has been for decades. JP Morgan was the latest to get busted for it to the tune of $929m.

For the doomers/preppers, nobody is going to trade you their can of beans for some shavings from your gold coin in an end of the world scenario
You don't need end of world scenarios to use gold/silver.

My family were vietnamese war refugees and a well timed conversion of currency to gold/silver got a good 10+ members of my family onto boats and out of the war-torn country.

Its more likely that an individual country collapses rather than the entire society. And in that case precious metal has a value because people outside of the collapsed society still will pay for the metals in their own currency.

Also keep in mind that eagle is slightly bigger coin so the content of gold is 1 Troy oz like buffalo and all the others 1 oz gold bullion

American Gold Eagle weights a little more than 1 oz. It's total weight is 1.0909 oz
Gold Content: 1 troy oz. Gross Weight: 1.0909 troy oz (33.931 g) Purity: 22-karat (91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper)

That is awesome your families were able to get out! Some people view the PM as investment, to me they seem to be more like a tool, when I need it, it is readily to be used, in your example, greatly increase the chance for survival and prosperity, can not put a price tag on that.

As someone that knows nothing about precious metals, what's the difference between the eagle, maple, etc? Aren't they all just silver/gold coins? Why would there be a price difference and why would anyone care?

A better deal would be to put those $500 on bitcoin.
The time to get rich quick on crypto was at the ground floor years ago. Now it's a slow build up, then a crash before recovery. I just don't see the appeal. When you could put 1k in and it became 20k in a few years, it was absolutely worth it.

Now you put 1k in and in a few years it may be 2k or it could be bust. Too much of a pyramid scheme pushed by people like yourself who only go up in value by convincing others to join in.

Quote from OpusXX :
Pardon my ignorance, 🤯 but how is this used as an asset? I know people buy the Costco gold and now silver coins. But how liquid is this commodity and who would buy this if you decided to sell? Would you have to hold for a long time?
example: my buddy and I were buying sulver eagles and some Krugerands back in late 90's. we paid 17 for silver ragles and around 800 for krugerands. When his divorce happened, he sold his silver when it was peaking at over 40…Almost double his investment.
ex waifu was non the wiser, you sell at pawn shops for cash no questions asked and NO "imperial entanglements"…

Quote from CoolSwing5485 :
How is this a good price when 1 oz of silver is valued at about $23 as-today Feb 23. That makes this bulk worth about $460. This is an honest question.
You can't buy at spot price from a dealer. They charge a premium for their profit, normally $5-6 per coin. Then there's tax. Many states and cities charge sales tax, of 6-7%. Even still, this is not an excellent deal, if your local coin store does not charge sales tax, and the per coin premium is low, you might do better elsewhere.

It's a shame silver always has a much higher premium over gold (relative to spot). Gold you can regularly buy at below spot with CC/exec card CB.
