Your recent silver buys This thread is simply to post up things you've gotten recently if you choose to do so, pics are welcome also. I grabbed a 1989 Maple today =)

Re: Your recent silver buys Unfortunately for me, I watched Mythbusters the other day so I no longer have any of my PMs. I saw the episode where they made a boat out of duct tape. I made one myself and my PMs were feeling lonely so I decided to take them on a trip. We got half-way out on the lake and MYTH BUSTED... the boat came apart. Now I have to start over again building my stack... Anybody selling for cheap?

Re: Your recent silver buys http://www.steinbergs.com/GaulAmSnAU.jpg http://www.steinbergs.com/GreekCallatisi58.jpg These are "on the way" - kinda my ANCIENT side. I sure wish they were MS grade ;>) The Gaul one was made in City of Ameins (now) around 58 B.C. when the KING kow-towed to Julius Caeser in the Galic Wars. Gaul is FRANCE and I collect OLD French gold coins. The Greek PONTOS one was a fellow that paid off the romans some 600,000 of these for killing some 60,000 Romans around Thrace in 86 B.C. The guy was said by Senator Cisero "To be our greatest ememy since Alexander the Great." Funny how PONTOS is in north TURKEY today around the Black Sea - not far from Noah's Arc Mountains of Ararat - and not far from where Mohammad started to be the first terrorist. :504::504::thumb.aspx:

Yes. I like taking pictures of shiny objects underwater. I had things all positioned, and this shark came along scared the SHIT out of me, I lost my grip. 500 shiny silver pieces slid off the camera platform. I did my best to catch them but felt like I should keep an eye on the shark. I must admit, it was a beautiful sight, watching 470 Eagles drift into the deep. My eyes were stinging from the salt water, not of the ocean (my mask has a very good seal), but from my tears. It was only 50 yards from shore, in La Jolla, near Scripps Pier. About a quarter mile north. The water there is about 500 feet deep and I just can't dive that deep. Yet. Out of my reach. Out of the tax man's reach. But if you can dive that deep, and don't mind the occasional shark patrol, they're cheap. Cheap if you're a seal, I guess. Maybe I could train a seal to get them for me ? :shine:

Re: Your recent silver buys I got 16ozzes of generic rounds/bars for $250 last week but with the bad weather we've been having I almost slid into the lake. Fortunately all I had to eject from the car to save us all was the silver. It might have been tragic but it turned out to be just unfortunate.

Indeed. I've learned that silver and clad both make the same splashing sound when accidently dropped overboard. Lessons learned the hard way. My recent purchases have been 90% on ebay. All purchases at or near spot silver. A roll of mercs and roos, and some washington quarters. I see why 90% is addicting!

Re: Your recent silver buys Not much here, a 10 oz Sunshine bar 3 weeks ago and a 5 oz Monarch flat bar yesterday. I think I'm done with the Monarch bars, they are just too crude looking. I wonder how much of a hit below spot that I will take on resale. Of course, there's always eBay...

I have to agree with you on that. The 5oz'er looked like something I poured in my garage. Good thing it was relatively cheap, and worked temporarily as a flasher.

Re: Your recent silver buys I grabbed a few silver maples and 80s onzas out of the junk bin recently. Nothing too exciting but when I get back from vacation in 2 weeks I'll start stacking some bigger bars.

Re: Your recent silver buys I just bought 2 things: - a Johnson Matthey 1 gram .999 silver ingot. Overpaid at $7.50 US, but I like the fractionals and had nothing like this. - a 1977 Panama 20 balboa proof coin for $65.65 US. It has 3.85 oz of silver in it. Always liked the coin when I saw it online, but never thought I'd find one. :coolbeer:

Re: Your recent silver buys I purchased a monster box of 2010 Eagles on Dec 29th for 19.68 and Oz all in. Did not want to crack open the box (which should be coming tomorrow) so I purchased 1 mint tube on Jan 24th for 19.64 an oz all in. Had I purchased these today, I would have paid 740 bucks less. Oh well...

Gee_Dubya75 | 01-28-2010 02:06 PM
Re: Your recent silver buys I went into my local dealer on Tuesday and bought five 10 ounce Wall Street Mint bars and six one ounce bars from the 1970's. I paid for them and left without taking them with me. I turned around and went back in and when I asked him for my silver he told me he had never seen me before. Rats, I hate it when I do that. :thumb.aspx:

yeah, but on Dec. 29 the price was in the low-to-mid $17's, if i remember. that's not a bad price ! my guess is, there were a few people who knew today about the dip to $16 - before it happened. for those of us on the outside, it was hard to predict anything lower than $16.20.

My thesis was that the cartel would push the metals down for 12-31-2009 for window dressing. This was not only the end of the year, but it was also the end of the decade. Spot was at 17.19 when I pulled the trigger in December, but the premium was 2.49 per coin. So 50 cents of my loss was due to APMEX lowering the premium to 1.99 per coin. I guess this is another reason not to cut the bands on the box - that reduces the Tulving buy back price by 50 cents. Not that I am looking to flip these coins, but the band stays, at least until AG is safely above 25 bucks on Oz. Or, if I see stories about error coins, then the band comes off and I inspect each coin. I figured if there was going to be a mint error, it would be on the first batch manufactured, which is why pre-ordered back in December. The only thing I can do now is purchase a bunch more to lower my average cost.

Re: Your recent silver buys been getting some bulk silver dollars in grab bags. fun to sort through and cheap stacking. Apmex office is closed today due to weather. hope everyone is enjoying time at home w/loved ones and things don't get worse. my concern is tension far across the other side of the globe till someone gets back home. :bawling:

Re: Your recent silver buys 1 Attachment(s) You know what is funny and it makes me feel good at the same time is that my dad has been folllowing my advice into waiting for lower prices, I explained to him about the different trends with support and all so he decided to wait. My best guess is that he pulled the trigger today. Im not much of a chart person but from looking at the charts there was support at low $17s, that didnt hold and our next suppport was around $16.30s....well that didnt hold so now we are looking at going to high $14s (our net previous support line).

Knight Rider | 02-04-2010 05:52 PM
Re: Your recent silver buys APMEX is now slowly upping the premiums. Their out of 2010/2009 Silver Eagles and now say the premium is $X.XX over spot. Premiums on Phils and Maples also went up. I'm going to pull the trigger on a monster box if silver drops enough to put the monster box price below $7500.

Re: Your recent silver buys Went to the local shop with $500 FRN in hand... ready to buy silver but expecting no silver on the shelves. There was silver on the shelves. 90% was 14X face. 10oz bars for $180 no negotiation. SAE were $19.50. Didn't even look at the generic 1oz crap because when I asked for the price on a 1/4oz GAE I got quoted $280. Now, I'm just confused about what to do with my $220 FRN. Sorry to disappoint but apparently silver is not for sale at the CRIMEX advertised price. Try not shoving it down so fast next time, boys.

Re: Your recent silver buys BTW, I feel largely the same as a lot of you guys. I took it royally today on this bar I bought, and its like these dealers are largely just totally ignoring silvers value. Feel's like everything is permanently 18 or more. Its like, it only goes up in huge increments when spot price is high as can be, but when it falls, these dudes seem to casually ignore the facts. Adding the tax and this other nonsense fee's, its beyond me. Today was overpaid royally on that 5 ounce bar, and there is no excuse for that mark up, this might be my last trip to this place, because I just feel like a total sucker when I leave, and today I honestly felt icky inside. One two ounce round at my local place is like 44$. I find this ridiculous, as the same round at my other contact would be like 32$ or so. I'm sick of this nonsense. I really don't even wanna look at this bar I bought. This is my fault, and I need to walk away from that first contact now. I could have grabbed another oz. ontop of this 5'ver for the money it costed.

LWK, if it makes you feel better, I have also overpaid on some silver in the past. Somtimes you just have to walk away and look elsewhere for a lower price if you feel that the premium at a particular dealer's store is too high.
