One cannot lay hands on the physical in SILVER without a 100%+ premium, and I imagine gold (I haven't tried) in the PHYSICAL is also commanding a hefty premium for the small buyer


Hey DaJ, good morning.

I haven't looked into buying or selling any gold/silver lately. Regarding silver, are you saying that with silver futures currently at $11.89/oz, that the physical is actually selling for around $24/oz?

Just out of curiosity, with gold at $868/oz., what do you think physical could be sold for now?

I'm thinking of selling 10 oz. of gold, or so, just to raise a little cash, but may wait until later this year.

Thanks brother.

There may be some good deals locally ~ but don't look for it ~ even on eBay ~ silver is commanding a 100% premium, perhaps a hair less with some sellers in quantity. Right now, per farfels' summary of what went down in Argentina [link to www.silverbearcafe.com] (well worth the read, imo) JUNK SILVER is the way to go. (Junk is coin, low % but what the barter/trade economy will trade at, even .999 is traded at junk value.)

As for your gold, I'd hang on to it were it mine. The value will exponentially rise in time. If you must sell it, check eBay for realistic pricing and market accordingly. My advice and $2.75 will get you a latte ~ Paladin is the guy and I'd get his take on it.
