Don't get me wrong the spread between buy and sell to the mint...

Don't get me wrong the spread between buy and sell to the mint is still large. For a 10oz bar its about 17%.

And I'm paying about 2$ more per ounce over spot(although from what I have read that's not to bad to take home physical). so it is pricey with limited market to sell into. But for me its just a safe haven long term buy. I'm just putting a few dollars away into silver to forget about for "the just in case scenarios" in the future.
