Silver Outlook
What is a reasonable premium over spot for silver? The answers to these questions depend on what you’re buying. Silver bars carry the lowest premium, followed by silver rounds. Silver coins generally have the highest premiums. Quantity also counts. Usually, you see lower premiums on bulk orders. Bulk usually meaning something north of 10 ounces (or units), and typically closer to 100 ounces (or units) and up.
A fair premium for silver bars is typically 5% to 8%, while silver coins usually trade for 12% to 20% premiums above spot. Silver rounds register in between those premium points. Prices can be higher or lower depending on the mint that produced the round and its popularity in the marketplace.
Of course, you get what you pay for, too. Ordinarily, the more popular bars, rounds, and coins—the ones for which you may pay a slightly higher premium—are also more widely recognized and in demand. In other words, they’re generally more liquid and more likely to help fetch you a higher price when the time comes that you wish to sell your silver bullion.
Finding a place that will sell you quality silver bars, rounds, and coins at a fair price isn’t hard if you know what to look for. Turn to a bullion dealer who receives high marks by the Better Business Bureau. Also, look for one that is a member of the Industry Council for Tangible Assets—a leading organization for the world’s premier bullion dealers.
You also want a dealer who has many inroads with the best numismatic organizations. These include the American Numismatic Association, Certified Coin Exchange, Professional Coin Grading Service, and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. And a dealer who is an authorized distributor for the world’s major mints. These include the Perth Mint, Royal Mint, Monnaie de Paris, the Australian Mint, and of course, the United States Mint. After all, such well-affiliated dealers try hard to be the best at what they do. They are not going to want to do something to mess up their solid reputations.
Finally, make sure you choose a dealer who offers a return policy and stands behind both their products and service. Peace of mind is what silver stackers want—it’s why so many are stocking up for an emergency. Buying silver bars, rounds, and coins from a reputable dealer who offers their products at fair prices and also pays reasonable prices for the silver they buy from you is a winning combination—one in which you are always the winner.
