Does shiny tarnish quickly?
Not really - If handled/stored properly, few coins tarnish quickly. Any silver coin can tarnish over time (it usually takes several months at least) but if it's strictly a bullion coin, you can dip it in E-Z-Est and remove the tarnish in seconds. Have you considered giant silver eagles? They vary in size with most ranging from 1/2 troy pound to 1 adv. pound and are often available for a nominal premium over spot price. Though technically not coins they are actually huge silver rounds that look like ASE. |

If you are looking for size the Kookaburra is the way to go the Kookaburra one of the most popular silver bullion coins among both collectors and silver investors. The Kookaburra comes in four popular sizes, 1oz., 2oz., 10oz. and kilo (32.5 oz. - the worlds largest silver bullion coin.) rggoodie

I have bought several rolls of ASE bullion coins, and the first thing I did with my first roll was pull two out, one for my pocket and one for my sons pocket. there size and weight feels great in your hand. I carry it every day, and yes it is showing significant wear but oh well ..i love it |

I already carry to much stuff in my pocket but still like to handle the coins when I look at them The slabbed coins are cool but take something away. No cold feeling and tactile response.

I cant see the point of buying a BU bullion specimen purposely for handling.
For the same money youll get an old circulated morgan for your pocket..seems logical..dunno

Are you sure about that ? A morgan looks pretty much like a 1oz silver round , I've seen smaller 1oz rounds too.
Can I ask why it needs to large and heavy ?

Yes I am sure it is smaller and lighter. I just like heavy coins to look at. They are rare in USA for sure. Besides the Ike dollar you never see anything bigger than the quarter in circulation. i just think they are cool. I was really looking for bigger coins. I bought a 2 oz Kookaburra that should getting here soon. |

A Deep Cameo Proof Elvis 1 Oz. Silver Round in an Airtite holder is a must have for every silver bullion collector. I took the photos myself.    Edited by TonysPics

I like silver bullion coins myself, especially the Eagles.
I have an Austrian Philharmonic as well, and several Mexican Onzas dated 1983 (I'm partial to that year since that's when I graduated from college).
As others have said, collect what you like. Rule #1 in this hobby is to have fun! (Rule #2 is to not forget Rule #1)

I like some of the silver rounds , I tended to buy englehards and changed to bullion coins , maples and eagles.
The Afrikan elephant I got recent is just stunning , id like more of those.
