Just to let everyone know the 50oz version is still available at govmint.com. It's not the First day version and still costs a bundle ($2800) but is there.

I'd be interested in the (silver) version containing flown metal. The designation is a bit confusing so which one is it exactly?

1oz silver plated does not contain any flown metal; the 1oz silver does contain flown metal, right? Also, some slabbed/graded versions denote flown metal and some don't.

EDIT: They're both the same. The only difference is the grade and the date of issue.

I've seen these Robbins with and without paperwork/boxes. How important are they? Do they justify the 40%+ premium?

I think that's really a question of personal preference. The boxes and cases are add-ons which are only worth what you value them.
