went to the houston coin show this weekend. Lots of sellers. Silver available for spot everywhere, 90% under spot. I don't know what they were paying but I think way back of spot like 12-15$.

Everything is too expensive for me right now so I left more or less empty handed for the first time in the 5 years I have been going. I did trade a loose 1ozt bar for a pcgs MS 64 gold liberty. I added 40$ as well. Im not sure why the dealer bothered I guess maybe a bit easier to sell the bar and it has .04 oz more gold than the coin. I was happy to get a beautiful historic coin over a generic kind of dinged up bar. I suspect he will melt it.
