Sterling Silver Market.3-5 years ago the mantra was buy as much silver, gold and platinum for your money and avoid the slightly higher premiums at the time for smaller denominations. As the market has heated up this has turned out to be not the correct advice.
Not only did one receive a higher premium whan selling smaller denominations but today the premiums for smaller denominations have increased anywhere from 6-8 fold while premiums have only doubled for larger bars of fine silver, gold, white gold vs. platinum or palladium.
