Question about buying silver

wonderdog451 · April 18, 2012, 19:08

I have been giving this idea a lot of thought, and I believe that I would like to start buying some small amounts of silver coinage or bouillon. My only problem is which silver coins are most desirable to buy? Or should I just buy some of the silver bars I see available?

I would start with a bag or 2 of "junk" silver, that is pre 1965 dimes etc.
Then move up the silver eagles.
Then 10 oz bars.
I wouldn't get anything bigger than 10 oz, there isn't much of a price break at that point, and unloading it might be difficult.

You can also start small. A several rolls of pre 65 silver dimes a paycheck/month. If you think you will ever have to use it in hard times....dimes are the way to go. What ever you do...you better hurry.....

I like older silver dollars,and silver Eagles. Maple Leafs,too. I'll take the "junk" silver when I can,but prefer the bigger denominations.
Don't overlook the possibilty of also hoarding copper,or brass,in scrap form.
Even iron,if you have the space to store it. Right now,its anything but paper.
