... my local coin store sells nice condition Eagles @ $3 over spot ... other countries' bullion coins @ $2 over ... silver is a good hedge, long-term ... & Eagles are a good choice (Maple Leaf Canadian also) ... IMHO ...

Thanks for the

@mrwiskers Sounds like a good source. I paid on average $57 each for three NGC MS69 Eagles and that felt pretty good especially eight days ago when spot silver was about $5 higher. But yes, like you say, "long term." Thanks for the reassurance.

Glad you're back into the hobby. Keep them safe and out of sight! But there I go - as they say here "teaching my granny to suck eggs"...

I too was a victim of theft in 2011 where most of my coins and alot of other stuff was taken. A coin roll hunting video suggested earlier this year on YouTube got me bit with the coin collecting bug again. I don't think there is an antidote for it

to the forum and back to collecting again! I took a long hiatus for the same reason; in 1987 we had a house break-in and I lost the collection I'd built since I started collecting in the late 1960's. Not a lot of monetary value, other than an 1879-CC Morgan given to me by my grandmother around 1971. A tremendous amount of sentimental value, though.

I didn't get start getting back into collecting until the State Quarters program began in 1999 and rekindled my interest.

I look forward to seeing your acquisitions!
