Diversify. Its always the name of the game. Buy ASE's, Libertads, 90%, Maple leafs, Fractional gold (mexico peso's are a good way to go), etc.
ASEs and such are more liquid in todays market, but tomorrows market it may be easily recognizable 90% coins. Always have some gold too. Gold is great for your 'Longs'
Oh, and I suggest stay away from 40%. Nothing wrong with it, just from a bullion standpoint it commands lower prices than the equivalent ASW of 90%. Same thing as 35% Silver Nickels.
Yes, I don't buy the 40% but wondered why the higher price. I have found some in rolls and of course I keep them as well as the war silver nickels. Thanks again for all your help! I guess tomorrow the Eagles are supposed to come out so I will see the price and base by next purchase on that. Like I said I even purchased some of the proof sets when the melt value was near the cost. Best of both worlds, I didn't pay really any more than the junk cost but have proofs so if things go well, the proofs should have more value, but if bad, silver is silver and I really didn't pay much for the trade off. As an aside, I did go through a $500 box of halves today and found 2 Franklins and 4 40%. My best box out of 4!
