1000-troy-ounce industrial 'raw' silver bars are the cheapest way to buy silver (that is, at the least premium over 'spot price'), no matter where you are in the world.
The 'catch' is that you'd have to hire an assayer if you wanted to sell them!
There are a number of 10 and 100 troy oz. silver bars that are 'known quantities' on the Silver market (ex: Englehard) that would be much more transportable and may not require an assay to sell (depending on who and where you're selling them to).

My suggestion is on the South Side of Chicago at about 2AM. Approximately 47th Street. But only once.  |

"Silver's under 10 dollars a oz as of today." Clarification: Paper silver shares are what dipped under $10/oz, real physical silver purchases where the item is received by the buyer are still quite a bit over $10/oz  Edited by DNA

OK, For the sake of argument . . . you don't want to buy paper, but receive the coin, you don't live close to Chicago  , buying from the mine isn't an option, and your coin dealer in town won't sell. The only other place I know of that isn't selling way above the 'spot' price is ebay. Any other ideas? BTW, what's an assayer?  |

Silver is always quoted in USD, but then is converted over to other currencies, depending on their exchange rate with the dollar. This is the same with gold, Pt, Pd, crude, etc...
Hope this helps. I was wondering about the same question a few years ago

Mexico is a good place to buy sterling bracelets made out of copper.

"...From individuals, by running an ad in the paper." I now see a lot of silver buy/sell ads on Craigslist, usually listed in the "Collectibles" category. |
