    hey, you went the extra step and calculated its premium over spot ?! thanks

    $70.65 per oz and spot is $40 per oz, so the premium is 'only' around 76% over spot !

    When put this way, than it is not that expensive !

    thats like paying for a 1 oz Kookaburra or any other 1 oz coin $65 AUD !!!

    I was reading today that the Sun King waged war against much of Europe and to fund it, much of the royal silver was sold at melt value, as in melted :(.

    Apparently the Prussians did the same
