I came across an older bar when I was at my local coin store a little while back. I was surprised to see it since typically, all I find are generic buffalo rounds. Silver is silver, but when I can get vintage silver at $1/oz over spot, I'm going to take it!

Every once in a while, you come across vintage rounds at the local coin store. I hit the jackpot a while back and found this vintage round. They're not very common, and online, they go for a pretty penny.ObverseThe front has a picturesque mountain scenery and the words "Swiss of America" on it.

I occasionally win random Amazon gift cards at work, which is nice to use towards food I'd buy for the kids anyway. This last time around, I got another one, and my wife suggested we buy an espresso machine. At first, I thought she was crazy, but she reminded me that lately, we've been grabbing coffee at least every other weekend, and the cost adds up.

Some of the silver made prior to the 80s featured some unique designs. A lot of the rounds made by private mints didn't survive, so many of them are considered "vintage" and command a small premium over melt value. You don't come across them often, so when you find them, you sometimes have to be quick to snag them.
