    Is it fair to say that all kooks are now ~$5 over spot?

    Wow, that really shows how cheap silver coins are. $5.00 to cover the manufacturing costs of converting an industrial bar to a coin, packaging, wholesale markup, retail markup and GST.

    Hiho, yes you do! I wouldn't mind getting it. Are you going to the Brisbane SMSF meeting? Else are you ever in the city?

    The Aus government can manufacture 5 cent coins for less than their face value... Believe me the price of making a coin is small.

    Wait until Julia declares GST on silver bullion sales,heck just about every other country in the world has,dont put it past them,kooks at $5 over spot or thereabouts should be flying out the door. Compare the 300k maximum mintage on them compared to the 300k on this years dragons and they are still up in the mid $40's range
