What do you intend to use the silver for? Post-SHTF currency? Hedge against the dollar? Ordinary investment? Short-term trading? Anti-bacterial properties?
Post-SHTF currency & Hedge against the dollar. So what is the dead easiest and mot practical way to get started? And why is one type of silver more or less practical for my uses?
one nor the other is truly any better than the other both take up the same space, the 1oz bullion coin is a smidge larger than the $1 silver coin,
bullion is 999,9 where as old coins are 90% sliver
the GOVT is less likey to seize coins as they are bullion but, like guns and ammo, out of control Government seize's what id damn well pleases,(including your pay)
I buy what I can, when I can, where I can, gold is now breaking 1100,00 as of RIGHT NOW sillver isnt far behind in going up additional value with it.
every coin shop, gold and silver exchange etc has old coin for sale, they have been gleaned by the collectors and have no historic value beyond content.
I again buy from dimes, quarters, halves and dollars when I find good price I buy all I can afford
bullion is goiing to be market price "spot" plus commission, when you sell IF YOU HAVE TO SELL you will only get "spot price"
most dealers will buy back at the price paid if you are talking a few dollars difference per ounce, but all metals are LONG term investments, as I stated about I bought silver coin at face and twice value 30 years ago and it is now 17 times face value..good investment move? maybe, but the dollar bought a ton more 30 years ago than today..
I payed as much for my first house as I did my last truck..
feel free to IM if this isnt the answer you seek..but dont know what else to say about it as far as "whats right" or "whats practical" or tactical for that matter
KITCO silver and gold
