Majority of precious metal investors are focused on one thing....SPOT PRICE. If you are an individual investor who keeps a steady eye on the market. The plan is to buy low and sell high. That is what this investment plan is all about. There has been quite the swing in the silver spot price over the past 12 years. .
I am going to share some of my own personal research on a unique niche within the precious metals market.A market that has minimal correlation to the spot price. Meaning the spot price could be $10 or $40. It has nearly zero. Pricing is mainly based off of the overall demand. .
Vintage Collectable Silver Bars
This market has exploded like dynamite over the past 5 years! Specifically, vintage poured silver bars from the 1940s to the 1980s. Most of which are odd weight. They can be a unique shape. Many have dark deep toning. They also tend to have been manufactured from popular mines or cities that have significant US history.
Similar to any other market place. It requires a lot of time to study and conduct research. I am going to provide a timeline of recorded auction sales over the past 12 years. The sales are ALL for the SAME variety silver bar. The US Mint of San Francisco! They were believed to have been produced in the late 1930s to the early 1960s. The vintage collectable silver market has a long recorded history of sales for US Mint ingots.
☝️ In a 5 year time period from roughly 2005-2010. Prices started out around $475 in 2005. Prices in 2010 were around $8-900. **
☝️ In a 7 year stretch from 2010-2017. Prices increased by 500-600%. An astronomical increase! The amazing difference is obviously between the begining and end of this timeline. Prices went from $450 to $6,000 in a 12 year time period.**
I appreciate everyone who looked at all the recorded sales and have made it to the bottom of this article. There is some amazing information here. Proof is always in the numbers. I have not taken the time to compare the vintage collectable silver market growth vs the silver spot price market growth over the same time period.
The US Mint of San Francisco silver ingots are amongst the most popular collectable ingots on the market today. The massive swing in value being the main indicator. There is a trickle down effect into many other refiners. Where very similar returns are seen on a smaller scale. The market as a whole has seen this level of return on investment.
I conclude this article asking one question. Where in the silver market do you get the best bang for your buck ?!🤔.
