I've been a silver buyer since the early 1970's, when like you, I only wanted ninety percent silver. Now, I mainly stick to the bullion pieces and old pour, and having said that realize I ordered a nice Canada Maple Leaf yesterday....its like a sickness with me. Thanks, my friend.

LOL I got some junk silver that is a mix of dimes, quarters and fifty cent pieces that I carry all the time. It fun to watch how people react to the difference in weight between an old pre-1964 coin and a modern coin. <br />I started buying silver a few years back and all I cared about was "melt value" and I think that is a good way to start rather than collectors value on coins. But, if you like history coins can be very interesting on the difference of trade silver dollars and regular mint dollar of the late 1800's.

Don't know why. I got one of those summertime colds like you and Harry, and the meds make me fuzzy(er) minded.<br /><br /><br />And for any interested in my two cents on shipping, whenever possible go with UPS (big brown) not the USPS (post office). If something goes wrong with USPS you are dealing with a government agency that doesn't give a flip. And the local police are (as in my case) powerless to help. My arrest warrant for him forging my name went nowhere.<br /><br />Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-47100028517363178322013-09-13T12:30:59.121-04:002013-09-13T12:30:59.121-04:00Silver is good.

When the detectives found my pouch, they literally tossed it to me at the firehouse and I happily grabbed it, expecting WEIGHT. gone gone gone<br /><br />Since my grandpa had given me those silver dollars, I was wondering where and who I should trust to purchase silver coins. I actually read your answers to your comments. So now I know and you don't have to repeat yourself.<br /><br />I saddled the horses while you slept.

Be very careful on Ebay....you will pay 'spot price' for silver per ounce wherever you decide to buy. Google the term. Spot is updated during the trading day moment by moment and is set in London. You will then pay a small commission over spot. This commission is the dealers profit and normally ranges from five to ten dollars over spot, depending on the dealer or retailer. Either way you are exchanging fiat currency for a tangible investment.
