    if your talking USD I'm around $18.10 for my non collectables (includes name brand bars, rounds, maples, some PM bu coins). not to bad considering it's not the lowest premium stuff ever. The price would have to dropa fair amount to make me spend enough to seriously average down but if I'm given that opportunity I'll take it. In the meantime I'll keep my eye out for bargains (normally high premium stuff at low premiums) and see how things pan out.

    AUD $21.78 / oz (about US$19 at current exchange). Hoping to drop that to sub $21 over the next month or three. Mostly holding PAMP 1kg with COA's so I'm content with my average at this stage.

    why do people not keep their pamp certificates? i havea few bars but only 1 with a cert. the place i got the others said they keep them if they have them but they often aren't handed in.

    Being the sort of bloke that keeps them, I'm not the best person to ask why others don't. I have heard that dealers aren't so fastidious with buybacks though, which might be the cause of some lost certificates.

    Stopped keeping track mid last year but was looking good back then around $21. Made some good trades so probably just under $21 now. It was all beer money anyway so it's all a winner :D

    Just under $22 USD an ounce however I don't inlclude premiums on numis or semi numis so its worth a small bit more then that. If the prices stay low I'm going to make a large purchase at the end of the year to complete my first year goal and It should get me to about $19 an ounce.

    I thought true stackers didn't measure their stack in fiat? Only in ounces? :p

    I hate it when my computer logs me out. I have all my charts set to USD when I'm logged in but they switch back to AUD when I'm logged out. I see the chart shooting up and see $18.48 and go "OMG IT IS HAPPENING AHHHHH" then log in and see it went up 5 cents :(

    The lion share ofmy silver was left to me by my great grandmother so my average is super low. Of what I've bought myself I'm averaging a little high at around $24. I've been buying gold here lately but I think it is time to go back to silver while prices are low.

    Interesting question.

    I get the idea to buy as many oz for the least fiat, but I'm not playing that game.
    The game I'm playing is 'Hold what others want to buy.'
    With a total meltdown all silver is bullion, but even so my 50% premium stuff will be worth a whole lot more than I paid.
    No meltdown, and there may be a nice collector market.

    I'm well over 500oz, on track for my first 1000, and at about $25 with shipping and premium, I'm happy with my average. I crossed the one year mark.
    I bought a few Morgans (U.S.1800's dollars) at 300% over spot and I don't think I will ever regret it.
    Classically beautiful.
    Buys like that push the average up.
    I've always thought that if/when spot goes back to $25 I'll back off on PM and switch to other stuff.
    I would have thought the money for my last few tubes would have gone to pantry items, but I buy what is on sale, so silver it is. Pantry can wait.

    so what have you been buying just curious because im a bit like you although im only a year in iv got about 150 mixed pandas kooks and lunars and a few other bits and bobs i. like the idea of trying to get issues that might appreciate good premiums in the future. have high hopes for the wedge tail sea eagles
