What Coins To Buy For Silver Investing?

buy BU and proof 90% halves, quarters, and dimes. They can be had for melt nowadays with silver so high.

What mkman123 said. Do some looking around, you can find BU items at melt if you look hard enough.

Put an ad on craigslist, but you better know what your doing, actually, don't put an add on craigslist. I also tell my family to sell me their stuff if they don't want it. I say, get it valued, then call me up and I'll buy it. Does anyone ever .. hang out at the coin & jewelry store? Probably a not good habit, but it's fun to watch people come in and sell stuff, usually they will let you look over it, and you can learn a little something sometimes. Right now these stores might be a little over run. I watched someone cash in a silverware set for over $1300. Lots of people are retiring, getting kicked to funeral homes, and estate sales, foreclosures, bankruptcy, gun sales, metal detectors, whatever, you never know what you'll find. I just had to buy something today, so I only bought the 2004 silver proof set. But, I also picked up an extra 2005s proof Buffalo nickel, even though it's not silver. Sometimes, they have a bargain bin, the one I was looking through today had silver quarters in it, although priced at 8 bucks a piece, at today's prices that's a little below melt, and I was not checking dates, assuming they were not key dates.

They are .999 silver, and they are beautiful, and, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe one can also use retirement money towards investing in ASEs. That's why I prefer them.

You only want to invest in silver? When silver is on the upswing?

I don't see the value on the return.

If you want to invest in something long term, within numismatics, invest in the highest grade key and semi key dates of whatever you like. That would be the best long term investment.

I think I might try this approach. Thanks!

I've heard stories of people sitting on huge bars of silver, to much to inventory, some of these guys have been collecting since before they inherited who knows what. They don't always know what they've got, or what's it worth. They just know they've got one or two safes that are packed full of the metal or coins. This is also a good time to save your money up in case you want to buy a little gold. It just ticked up and will likely go a bit further. When the upticks hit, people start selling. Buy in small quantities if you can get a deal. Prices are so ridiculous right now, if you whine, the dealers will give you a break because they will still want to move coins. And, buy proofs, if you can, I bought my first PF 70 today. Also, I worked out a deal with a family member just recently.. regarding silver or gold coins, BU, nuggets, etc. whatever they've got, it's as good as the coin shop or ebay for sure.

Yeah, find the coins in BU condition that are the same value as silver price. At this time you will be protecting your "investment" on two fronts. Numismatic and bullion.
