| I do not think this is the best time to purchase silver but I am curious where is the best place to buy some? I bought some from a local company who was liquidating there holdings about a year ago. But I know i will not stumble onto that again. |

OK - so help me on this. I want to start a small collection of silver coins - common and cheap and grow the collection to trade up and into better stuff. What year dimes can I start looking for, and what year quarters? Are there any nickels that have a PM worth collecting? My plan is to start with the stuff you can find in circulation so that I dont have to invest too much money, just time and effort. I thought I was supposed to be collecting 1967 and previous dimes and pre 1964 Quarters - Can anyone correct me. Thanks. |
| I collect silver bullion myself; primarily 10oz bars from Englehard & Johnson/Matthey. You can buy online or in town (if you have a place). Besides large dealers (apmex, bullion direct, sunshine minting, etc) you can also Ebay and sometimes get a good deal; just depends. |
The above percentages are based on an ounce of sivler, not the percentage of silver in the coin. Also missing on that list are the 65-70 half dollars which are 40% silver content. Edit for spelling |

If you understand that the long term value of paper currency is zero, then pm's are always a good buy. The same of other tangibles such as food, ammo, tools, tires, land, etc. Eagles and others reserve a premium, so it may be better to have some pre-65 stuff, bars, and rounds. |
