MBoomer, I'm not sure that he knows what he is talking about. I purchased 3,000 ounces from the NW Territorial mint and had to wait for three weeks for delivery. This was about five years ago when silver was just under $5.00 an ounce and the price above spot was nowhere near a dollar.

I have been very lucky in that I purchased nearly all of my silver from $3.65 to $4.05 an ounce. Now I have a hard time finding silver anywhere at any price. Most of the silver bullion that I have was purchased at spot and never above .50 but because of the rarity of silver which is just starting to become apparent the price is well above spot. NW Territorial Mint sells bullion at about $1.00 above spot but it depends on the amount of your order.

When I visited the Mint they took me on a tour of their plant and were very courteous. The 3,000 ounces that I bought were in all sizes from five ounce to 100 ounce bars. That is all they had even after three weeks of waiting.

Give them a call and see what they have to say. The number is 1-800-344-6468. Good luck and let me know what you found out.
