most of the large coin and bullion dealers and many small ones are on ebay
makes it easy to price lowest to highest
premiums everywhere have shot way up after the bank failures
spot price is the price of "paper" silver contracts
it is a guide , the price for actual silver in your hand will be higher
buying in lots of ten , rolls of twenty or lots of 100 is cheaper than buying 4 or 5 at a time
pre 1964 silver is through the roof now
same with silver american eagles
british britannias seem to be the lowest premium in a minted new coin right now
and check your local coin dealers if there is one in your area
