Is Silver next?

[1775usmarine]

After getting my free oz of copper from flyingsquirrel here I caught the bug.

Hi I'm 1775usmarine and a I'm first time buyer.

Bought from Golden State Mint today and got my 10% military discount. I bought a 1oz silver round for 31.27 and 10oz of copper rounds for 2.60 a piece. Total came to 66.80.

Shipping was 6.95 and the fee for using my card was 2.57.


If I calculated it right: adding the shipping and cc fee then dividing by number of items and then adding that to price I paid minus spot I paid 7.43 over spot which was 25.61 at this posting. I would assume I did ok for a first time buyer?


My plan once my divorce is finalized to buy up to 5oz of silver rounds or coins a month for the future or to pass on to my 3yr and 1yr old when I'm gone.



I did see Provident does offer a military discount. Does anyone know what it is I would assume 10%.

February of last year is when I started. Spot price + premium at LCS was $34/toz then.

Not sure of military discounts, but I keep an eye on https://findbullionprices.com/ when there are dips.

I never did find out how to get free copper outside of going to all the banks and asking for rolls of pennies.

I'd never seen this website before, but I like what I'm seeing. That's like the gunsdeals.com of the precious metal world.

Quite the dip this morning. I wonder if it will hold? Premiums are still 17%-20& or more though.

 

[ancjr]

That's why premiums are high. They're a hedge for dealers against daily volatility. Don't be distracted by daily moves.

I picked up 7 of these (just enough to get free shipping) when spot hit 24.83. Ended up paying 29.59 each.

*I should start making rounds out of my copper stash.*

That would pay better than scrap.

Dad could back a 53ft trailer into a one lane alley in one pass.

Did you mean to be in the OSUT thread?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Understood. I hate doing anything on my phone.

A hefty purchase, nice. How many have the weight and content on them?

2 of 4. The ones with denticles and reeded edges have that information (Wright and Calder).

Price remains low today.

Provident was very quick to email back about the military discount and responding once I sent a photo of front and back of my VA card and DL. They had the discount applied to my account and it is the lowest price shown for the greater buy. So if you buy 500 coins for 29.76 a piece I can buy 1 for 29.76 instead of say 32.50.
