I like junk silver the best. Prices move in step with markets just like bullion, as liquid as bullion, and every coin is a little piece of history.

I like them as much as the 999 stuff. Besides history, you get fractional silver, as well. Plus, you don't worry too much when handling them with bare hands. My difficulty is finding junk at low premium. I guess everything comes down to the cost. |

I usually buy whatever is on special at the time eg. low premium rounds or junk at spot or better. If the ASE, Maple leafs, Philharmonics are on sale I will usually throw a couple in. |

I REALLY love my Perth Mint Gods of Olympus ZEUS. Not only is it unique and kind of strange(in a good way), it's the first $500 modern silver coin that I've ever owned. It well may be a $1000 coin before long. It was fun to buy because I had to constantly monitor The a Perth Mint for its release, but I had to be lucky to be one of the 1500 people worldwide whose timing was just right. Buying that coin was like Bass fishing and catching a 14 pounder. It was kind of like hunting. Then, it was kind of thrilling to watch it double in price overnight, and then rise in value at about $50 a week, and it's still going. I possibly could end up with my second favorite coin to buy for $160. My second favorite coin to buy is the one ounce .9999 Gold Buffalo. Very satisfying. |

I have been more interested in High Relief silver coins lately. I picked up an American Bald Eagle from Perth and it is so beautiful. The Wedge-Tailed Eagle is next, plus it was designed by John Mercanti. After that I want the 2oz Poseidon and the Britannia Mule. I need to win the lottery! Edited by welder

Hello, Last Sat. I was hitting the local yard sales scooping up Ag & Au and ran into an incredibly toned 31.1 g ASE. I paid a bit under spot for mine and then searched ebay for similar 2004 toned ASE coins. I could not believe what this seller is asking for his 2004 toned ASE: http://www.ebay.com/itm/14121583817...RK:MEBIDX:ITI wanted to get opinions from CCF members on what others think a MS grade 2004 toned ASE should go far. Once I obtain several opinions on this subject, I will post a photo of my particular toned ASE find for additional opinions from CCF members insofar as retail pricing. thx, mdpmedia |

@ mdpmedia
You should probably start a separate thread for this discussion but, that is an artificially toned coin that the seller is trying to sell as a "natural rainbow toned coin" without actually claiming it is natural.
Natural rainbow toning is very desirable and can command big dollars. Artificially toned coins are worth no mare than bullion prices.

agreed mdpmedia, maybe start your own for that discussion! I think I'm switching back to ASE's for a couple months :) |
