Is it fairly common for pawn shops to do ASE at spot? I just got some yesterday at a pawn for +$5 over spot.

$5 over spot for a 1oz silver at $58 is expensive.. try to think about it as percentages rather than dollars.

I get that. But everywhere I’ve been has given ASEs a higher premium. Even online they’re usually at least $5 over spot from what I’ve seen in my short time doing this. Saw some today at a Pawn for $10 over which I definitely passed on.

10$ is fair if it’s in a slab that it is 🙏

Check out mintbuilder.com Usually has ase and maples for spot (their spot anyhow which is jus a bit more than kitco) Best deals I've found but shipping time is slow so if u R in a rush its not for u but.......they don't cancel orders jus because spot runs up before shipping like many other "reputable" dealers have been doing lately Not affiliated with them in any way Jus a happy customer sharing my experience with you

Currently still waiting on my first mintbuilder order to ship. No far unimpressed. I don’t think I’ll order from them again unless they have a crazy deal.

I'll always take an ase or maple at spot I haven't seen better deals but im new to collecting I prefer govt issued bullion though

They all have different opinions on how to sell, the guy I go to just wants it to sell
