How much over spot would you be willing to pay? I buy 5 oz of Silver a month as part of my portfolio, but I see the markup above the spot price constantly rising, at what point does it become unwise?

Depends upon if it's eagles or generics, etc. Personally I only buy silver if I buy a monster box of 500 coins as I find anything less you wind up paying high premiums for. Also, I only like buying unopened monster boxes as in the summer time when supply is low at coin shops near me I can get $3.50 over spot where as if you buy single coins or even tubes your going to pay above spot when you buy and probably get below spot when you sell. Monster boxes is the only way in which you can pay a small premium upfront and actually get over spot when you sell.

Timing is more important than price over spot.
