Don't invest, just enjoy and have fun. If you gain money, wonderful. If you lose money, well you had fun

I like junk silver also. If you can get classic coins at melt your bound
to get some with additional numismatic value as well.

If you want to buy in substantial volume, get a brokerage account and buy a major ETF such as iShares SLV that holds the physical metal in a vault. I do that all the time with zero issues.

That is pretty interesting. I've never done that, but it doesn't sound like a great idea to look into.

LOL, the opposite is true in Canada. Canadian coins are revered and US anything is frowned upon. If I were American I would also invest in some personal insurance, S&W, for example. I would just buy bars if I were you since they have the lowest premiums (biggest bars possible). However, I would like to add that you should look into just completing MS sets because they are a bit less volatile than bullion. If someone offers you spot for them just say you're not interested in spot price and find a better dealer. Me, I diversify as much as possible. If I see something that I like, I buy it, no matter where it's from, but I do try to keep it at .720 so that it holds some value. You can sometimes get deals on coins .500 or .720 so watch for those because people don't value them as much so they sell them for VERY close to spot price, in my experience. I would stay away from bullion proofs until I knew the market a little better.
Rest in Peace

Another vote for junk silver coins. Dimes especially; as, if the economy does tank, you will be spending them.

I also hold some Canadian and Mexican silver and currency.

My personal recommendation on buying silver for the long term is to have a mix of 90% coin (All denominations) and .999 bars. Englehard, Johnson - Mathey and silver bar manufacturers I buy. I don't buy art bars since many dealers don't pay as much for those as they do for the previously mentioned manufacturers.

the best investment of silver is any silver you can find for a price you can afford. lots of things hold premiums and therefore are harder to sell which is why I like junk silver.
