So yesterday was my birthday and I got a little cash. I was interested in getting into metals for obvious reasons, dollars a little questionable, metals are going up, plus they are kinda cool!
So after doing some research it looked like bullion was the best bang for the buck. 90% coins looked interesting but I decided to look for bullion. Silver in the amounts I had to spend seemed like the best deal. 1/20oz or gram gold coins just had to much overhead to be worth it. The shop I called didn't actually have 1oz bars of silver. I ended up with three 1 oz coins.
I don't have a picture.
the front is lady liberty. "E. Pluribus. Unum" around the outside with the date of 1984 at the bottom.
the back has a set of scales. The top says "one troy ounce" with 31.1 grams underneath. There are two things of...wheat? on either side of the scales. At the bottom it says ".999 fine silver" with "silver trade unit" below that.
It looks a lot like a morgan dollar....except its not.
I don't care if its a replica etc etc as long as it actually has the amount of silver it says it has.
I paid $14.15 each. which is a hair less then 1oz bullion was going for online.
