I know. It's not cheap.  The seller's got to make money too. I know that it's pricey. I almost ordered one from the Golden State Mint. It was gonna cost about a dollar more, so I bought one off of ebay instead. Do you have any suggestions when it comes to buying generic silver rounds? Not sure if my local coin shop sell these or not. I also don't plan on selling these rounds anytime soon. Errers and Varietys.

When buying silver just for melt value then generic rounds and bars are a good option. The 1 oz buffalo round is popular, several private mints make them. Watch for online sales from the major dealers like SD Bullion, Bullion Exchanges, Monument Metals, APMEX and others or directly from a mint like Golden State. Bullion from governement mints like American Silver Eagle, Canada Maple Leaf, Britain Britannia have a higher premium when buying but you get more for them when selling. Of course buy/sell prices depend on specific dealer, coin store, market conditions. Some like to stack circulated 90% silver pre-1965 dimes, quarters, halves, cull Morgan and Peace dollars. Just saying all this for newbies. Edited by livingwater

Thank you for that, livingwater. That was very informative and helpful. I'm still somewhat new when it comes to stacking silver. I just started doing this fairly recently. Errers and Varietys.

I have some 1/10th oz rounds with the same obverse design, and others with the Buffalo nickel design front and rear. They are slightly larger than a US Dime. I bought them "just because". Naturally, fractional silver is cheaper in the form of common, circulated 90% US coinage. |

Very nice round, E&V! Quote:
I'm still somewhat new when it comes to stacking silver. I just started doing this fairly recently. As others have stated, circulated 90% silver coinage is great for stacking. I started several years ago by buying mixed lots of "junk" silver that could have anything from 1800's coins up to 1964. The way I looked at it, I could buy for melt or possibly less and then had all these coins to search for varieties and errors, a doubly good purchase in my opinion.  I have also come across decent date/mint coins as well. Good luck with your stacking! -makecents-

Thank you, makecents! I'll start doing that more. It would save me a lot of money in the long run.

-makecents- That's a good reason for me to not call 90% coinage, junk.
I've sold a lot of the 90% I once had, but to this day some of the coins that came into my possession remain in my collection. It is sold as a commodity, but there be keepers in them there bags, LOL.
