They are currently just above melt ($US3100) and relatively scarce. In 1999 (per-Y2k), when silver moved modestly to $5.60 junk bags went up to over $5000 This 25% premium to melt made the overall gain close to 50% (better than just bullion) If silver moves, dealers and newsletters might well hype bags to a premium (again)

Good Evening Claude, Im in the coin bizz..mainly older collector coins.. But I do some bullion bizz as needed. Todays wholesale buy/sell spread on 90% bags is rite around $3200 buy / $3300 or 3350 sell. Walk in our store and we offer $3x for anything $3100 for larger quantity.. Wanna buy some? It's around $3400 for $1,000 bag & $3.50 to $3.75 per $1 face value for smaller amounts. This is for dimes/quarters and halves.. with halves usually brining a tad more and recently now and then dimes or quarters will get a little boost and be $25 or $50 more. I don't know why.. but suspect it's perhaps the TV selling shows like QVC selling some kind of BS assortment. Fritz
