I wanted to know what is you favorite Silver? Also, why do people chose Eagles over Rounds? And has anyone ever cut open a round before just to see what was inside?

| I prefer Prospectors over Eagles any day. And the inside looks just like the outside, silver and boring. |

90% halves found in bank rolls, showing their beautiful shiny silver edges, as you tear the paper roll open. Can't beat that !  |

the size of the premium for ASE's relative to rounds does not make any sense to me. now, some premium is appropriate because its govt issued, uniform, recognizable, etc. but the premiums have been absurdly high for a long time.
you are well served to be opportunistic. |
Buying:
Peace/Morgan G+ at $15.00
copper cents at 1.3X

All of it....
Deal |

Plain and simple.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

I bought several hundred 1oz Pan American bars from nwtm. the bars seem to pull more than the rounds on ebay.
I like engelhard the best for some reason
I wouldn't worry about it. buy what you can when you can.
build up a silver 'buffet' |

the problem with NWTM is their customer service and sales practices, not their silver. they'll tell you its in stock and will ship right away but then they won't ship for months until they can buy it for less than what you ordered it for. |

It would be nice to have a market limit order standing where you can buy silver once it hits a certain spot price. The fantasy wears off since you could not find street silver prices near $10/ounce last fall. Anybody here trade silver futures? Is it possible to set up a futures trade to take actual physical delivery or is the dollar amount involved for the physical amount too huge? |

you can do something like that on bullion direct's nucleo exchange, but there is a 1% fee.
for futures, its a pain in the neck and I think you are dealing with 5,000 ounces at a time. you also have to pay various costs, etc. |

Me too, but all things being equal I'll cherry pick though my dealers box and pick out good looking silver eagles over rounds or bars. I'll take an Englehard bar over a round too. If one is selling during a price spike chances are the buying dealer won't give you a dime more for them. But then you may be selling to someone someday who will pay more for them. |

| It's all about preference. But from my limited experience, SAE's, Maple's, Philharmonic's & junk silver are more liquidable then generics. However, the generics that are encased in plastic sell like hotcakes on ebay and hold the same premiums as SAE's & etc. |

| The only silver I own are SAE's and 90% and 40% coins. I'm happy to stick with that, only a lot more would be nice. |

| Why do you guy have 90% and 40% junk silver? You would think that you guys had more sense in what you invest into. If we where to experience a currency crisis, the heard would be looking for 1oz. Silver because thats what they will hear on the radio and on the news. Imagine if we where in one right now, do you think a person will have time to calculate how much junk silver one is worth? I know some of you don't buy junk silver, you get lucky and find them. I don't understand why you would purchase 90% or 40%, over 1oz? Good luck, I know that this will be one of the greatest bull run on Silver and Gold. I know I wouldn't want to be holding 90% and 40% when this happens! 1oz. all they way! |

I don't think the news will be biased to one type of silver in a crisis, unless of course it's MSNBC. 90% and 40% calculation is very, very easy, given you have reliable information (found in any coin book or on coinflation.com) and a calculator. I am and always have been a coin collector first, and then a bullion investor. Luckily enough for me, the US Mint pleasured both of my hobbies in 90% and 40% silver coins. |

I have to disagree. If the silver bull run takes place, how many silver rounds do you think will be fakes if silver gets over $100 ounce? How will the average Joe know what's real and what's fake? I think Joe will go for the USA silver coins minted 1964 and before because Joe knows that these are the "real money coins" that his father and grandfather gave him when he was a kid. He will remember that these old USA coins are REAL SILVER  .
These 90% and 40% silver coins will disappear during a currency crisis, and when available will sell at exhorbitant premiums - an occasional few people will be able to acquire them; the exception being those smart investors/stackers/savers who have them in their possession already  . |

Anyone who is today old enough to remember when these coins were in circulation will understand the system. And I believe in the near future anyone else will be able to learn it very easily. .715 oz per face dollar, how hard is that. Plus I like seeing real US coins that have silver in them, and I think others will too. |

I think every form of silver has its pros and cons. For example, while many consider the 1 oz government minted rounds (ASEs Maples Phils etc) the most desirable form of silver, the questions is, are they worth the higher premiums? IMHO if things more or less hold together, ASEs and Maples will hold their premiums compared to 90% coins. However, if we experience a currency collapse those premiums will shrink considerably (but not disappear). In the end, nobody knows exactly how things will play out. Therefore limiting yourself to one type of silver is simply poor risk management, and in the case of ASEs and Maples, expensive. As others have said in this thread if its silver it has value. |
