be diverse and get different things, only thing is avoid 35% silver like warnickels and 40% like the 1965-1970 kens, they are pretty hard to sell when you want to sell them

Sorry Windchild missed that. Today I topped off my first roll of Canadian Fifty Cent pieces. I do like the design on the Reverse.

Quote:Better quality 90%, ASE's, and Maples. I'm with CW on this and collect the highest quality 90% silver US coins I can find. Yes, these cost more than the beat up culls out there but that's fine with me. My collecting is partly about enjoyment and I enjoy looking at beautiful coins more than I enjoy looking at beat up coins... a LOT more! Most of these are BU quality with small numbers of AU, XF, VF, and F quality coins. Typically, the older a coin the lower the quality due to smaller numbers being available and the rapidly increasing price of BU & AU coins as they age. A BU 188x Morgan silver dollar, for example, costs more than a 1-oz. BU Maple or ASE and contains about 3/4 of the amount of silver as the newer bullion coins. They are classic beauties, though. I also collect ASE, Maples, and 5-oz. SilverTowne bars. I have nothing against 10-oz. or larger silver bars but just haven't purchased any of them so far. |

I try to buy below spot. Private mint .999 isn't bad. I have found Mexican (.720 and .500)and Canadian (.800) to be under priced lately.

I buy any silver I can get in the 35%-90% content range if I can get it at at least 25% below spot. .999 I will buy if it can be had at 10-20% below spot or better. If not I pass regardless.

Unholy- how do you find anything to buy these days? I search and search and can barely find things at spot let alone under. Anyway to the OP lately I have been buying 90% US coins from dimes to dollars, ASE, and pieces that tickle my fancy. I also have been known to buy frequently from the generic silver box like art bars and crappy rounds. I also like the 10oz bars but right now with the move to the West Coast from Philly and not being employed here yet I can't be buying big pieces like that. |

I won't give away my sources, but I will say this. I almost always do an "all or nothing" buy with whomever is selling. Make it as easy as I can on the seller. I buy their good with their crap and in the end I made their life easier by moving it all at once and I get a discount. I then just flip the "crap" on ebay at cost and move on from there |

i wish I was buying right now... but like most people said, HIGHEST QUALITY 90% you can find and afford. why? because a lot of the "modern" issue 90%, franklin, wash quarters, roosies, kennedys, merc, are way undervalued right now. for example, if you want to buy mint state franklins, common years, you will pay just above melt.. also ASE's - they are more liquid and more popular. also silver pour bars, Egelhard, JM, etc.. popularity and liquidity... best bang for your BUCK would have to be 90% though IN MY OPINION.... |

Mostly just proofs and, periodically, a little bullion.
