macNZ, the Perth Mint does charge premium to spot silver, in round figures its about plus 30% on coins, and plus 10% on bars.

To trade the equivalent number of ounces in the real world (ie: physical) that was traded in paper last nite would take months to obtain, if it could be done at all. If you wish to investigate further the difficulty in sourcing very large amounts of physical silver then look into PSLV:NYSE , a recent large phizzy acquisition took months. Unlike the 50 mil or whatever paper ounces that got dumped in 5 mins last nite.
