Silver Premiums vs Spot Price

Silver spot price is a reference quote. Premiums reflect the cost and availability of specific products, sizes, dealers, and delivery choices.

Spot is not checkout

A spot quote does not guarantee a coin, bar, or round can be purchased at that exact price. Premiums are product-specific.

Why premiums change

Minting costs, scarcity, shipping, dealer spreads, taxes, and order size can all change the final price.
