**People roast Goldbacks for 100% premiums**
This Scottsdale 100×1g silver prepper box at Money Metals is ~$425 for 3.215 oz of silver (~$206 melt at $64/oz).
That’s +106% over spot.
Same trade-off: you’re paying for tiny, recognizable barter units, not cheap ounces.
Goldbacks have an official spend rate and a merchant network. These 1g bars don’t — and Money Metals only buys the box back at ~$306.
If the premium bothers you on one, why not the same energy for the other?
