Same here, but yes, I love the look of the Silver Eagles, but I love the price of the 90%. I'll just continue to buy both until my mind decides what I really want

Quote: Any silver will do in this case, but I wouldn't go paying big premiums over spot because in a collapse scenario I am not sure people are going to care that you paid $5 over spot for a Silver Eagle. My thought is that in a collapse scenario, silver will be worth WAY more than any of us paid for it and whatever premium we paid will be a dim and distant memory. Paying lower premiums will get us more ounces of silver for the same amount of fiat, though.

I am new to buying silver but I tend buy what I like. I bought some small 1 oz bars, some ASE, ATB coins, and various other 1oz pieces, and a litlle 90% whenever I can. I have gotten 6 proofs in the last 7.00 face value 90% quarters from my local shop. They are out of place with the rest of them they shine like the Dickens.

I was thinking about purchasing some 1 oz bars but, not sure how I felt about them. Can't beat an ASE, but I may have to give it a try. Just found out theres a local dealer by me who just came into business selling 2012 ASE's for $30 out the door! I may go buy a few tomorrow.

I'm trying to keep my average cost per Oz below $30 so I buy ASEs when they get low enough and bars when I have to.

Oldgold thats a good method. Because realistically $30 an ounce is probably not too far away again.

True, but my stack is a lot smaller than most. I went a few months without buying any waiting for silver to drop again. When silver takes off again, I may have to rethink that number though.

I built my first 100 ozs in ASEs and junk silver primarily. Since then the only junk silver I've been buying are Morgan/Peace dollars at melt and Merc dimes at melt.
I now primarily focus on generic silver rounds (i like the ones that commemerate an event), modern commems and Prestige sets. I still buy ASEs if the premium is not too high. Recently completed sets of 46-64' dimes and War Mercs. Have about a half set of Franklins I'm working on. All of the sets are in uncirculated or high AU condition.
Collect what you like. Staying as close to spot as you can is a good strategy.
