If you sell at a profit, capital-gains tax may apply depending on your personal situation and whether the metal is considered a collectible or investment. Record your purchase price, date and any associated fees. For personalized advice, speak with a tax professional familiar with BC rules.

What Drives Silver Bullion Prices in North Cowichan

Global spot price: The world benchmark price moves continuously during market hours and is the starting point for every dealer quote.
Canadian dollar: Because spot is often quoted in USD, a weaker loonie increases the CAD price of imported silver bullion.
Dealer premium: The markup over spot covers manufacturing, distribution and profit. Premiums vary by product, brand and dealer.
Local demand: High demand in North Cowichan or BC can tighten supply and push premiums higher, especially during market volatility.
Product type: Coins like the Canadian Maple Leaf usually carry higher premiums than large bars but are easier to resell in smaller amounts.
