What would you pay - help please!

in steemsilvergold •  7 years ago 

It was a slow day at work today, so I did what any other #steemsilvergold member would do...cruise the net looking for silver 😎
I stumbled across this bad boy that someone was selling privately,


I don't know a lot about it aside from the obvious, a) I want it and 2) its a 10oz silver JM & M bar. I know there's the intrinsic value of the 10oz silver, roughly $215 CAD spot price. There's also the collector value here but just how much??

I wasn't sure what a fair price for this piece would be so I am opening it up to #steemsilvergold and asking for your help. What would you be willing to pay for this piece?

If I really, really wanted it, I would only go $10, maybe $20, over spot. Only because, spot price is so low. But I would rather have ten different 1oz. govt. coins at the same price. Most Dealers will not pay anything over spot.

I'd give every Canadian dollar I have.

It’s a bad ass piece eh!

@ejr did you buy this Bar yet ??? If you did what was the price ??

No sale yet, I will keep you posted if we strike a deal

It's definately fairly rare. I can't find any mintage numbers but I've seen the 20 oz exact same design listed and they had a mintage of under 3k. You won't see many with that stamp because most have been melted down over the years. I honestly wouldn't pay too much over spot tho because it's a niche market for bars like that. If it were at my coin shop I wouldn't pay much over spot for it and if I were to sell it I wouldn't get any premium for it at all even tho it's so old. Items like this you have to sell online. Now if you can get it for a decent price I'd turn right around and list it for a rediculous price on eBay and hope to hook someone for a couple hundred over spot..

Good advice man, it’s easy for the collector in me to get carried away with excitement.

I do know that JM & M command a premium over just vintage JM bars, but otherwise not too sure either man. I would just start with a lowball offer.

I know I'd pay way too much 😁 that thing is gorgeous. Love me some vintage

We’re in the same boat, The collector in me often outways the voice of reason

as close to spot as you can get it, i would pay 20% extra if i really wanted it because were used to that in the UK with VAT!!
