Decided to buy on the dip today and got a good deal on some 1964 Kennedy Rolls (18.5X face). As much as I prefer Franklins to Kennedys, you get a better deal with the Kennedys if you like maximum weight per coin. These fill up the plastic tubes right to the top like they are supposed to. With the Franklins you don't get that unless they're BU, and with Walkers you are missing what seems like close to a coin's worth of silver with 20 in a plastic roll.
I didn't remember that today was the big day we silver bugs were supposed to go out and buy silver until after I got it. I doubt there was much physical out there for all the people who went out to buy today. Everyone here is out of Eagles and silver bullion, except one store, and they have had some generic silver and Eagles during this whole time, but they are about out now. Their premiums on everything are far higher than anything else here and their buy price spreads have gotten huge. So if anyone wanted to buy here in any kind of volume they would be paying alot over spot. The other stores are still selling with a month or more delivery date at fairly decent premiums. I won't risk that and will only buy when I can leave with the metals in hand.
