Silver Certificates Worth More Than Face Value
The price of silver certificates has risen above their face value with premiums up to 30 percent. Dealers offer about 1.25 for a 1 certificate, redeemable for 1.29 ounces of silver at the U.S. assay offices in New York and San Francisco. Investors could profit by buying at this rate and selling silver in the open market, though redemption in silver granules is impractical for small holders. The government now sells silver by auction and maintains a 1.29 an ounce peg only for certificate redemptions.
