VERY cool! Its quite expensive for a quarter ounce but people should read the back-story regardless because its fascinating: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Gairsoppa

yes the `1/4 oz is huge premiums

I was lucky enough to get one of the 10oz version 1 from MCM minted by Sunshine mint

they just had a sale on the version 2 for 229 shipped , but it is over, I suspect they will have another sale at some point on it since there is 7 million oz of this Silver. so this Silver isn't exactly rare.
