i have them and I was trying to put a world silver collection but problem is I'm never going to be able to get any more countries under 50$ and I'm not really into premiums on my coins (thus why I only own 20 maples) but own 55$ in 80$ junk silver. (and other generic rounds and bars)
can any one suggest or encourage me to keep looking and where to look without paying a 15+$ premium? or should I sell them and stack lower premium coins
all are BU in air tights!

I would recommend just holding them and if and when you come across a great find of another country, then buy that and add it to your collection set rather than your investment set....That is if you still have a desire and love for the world bullion set. If not, wait until silver gets higher and then sell them to buy more lower priced stuff. Generally when selling on da bay, as price go up...people kind of get used to the prices paid there, so when silver tanks off, you usually have a few days to sell at the higher prices and buy back in at lower prices from a retail bullion site like kitco or silvergoldbull or somewhere of interest too you. But again, if you are worried about premiums that you are paying, to me it sounds like you are here for investment purposes and your DCA is what matters. Stick with your junk silver, rounds and recognized bullion when you can get a great deal. JMHO.

Sams gave real good advice. Its always nice to add from variety to the stack but if you just want straight bullion I dont think youll be able to complete your set which would make sense to sell those off for the higher price and add more overall silver to the stack. I like a lot of the coins you have listed but have stayed away because I cant justify the higher price for a bullion item.

I believe the shipping is NOT per coin, it's per order. Another dealer that I've read alot about is Provident. But from what I've read, APMEX seems to be one of the good ones out there. I'm sure your going to be dealing with shipping costs, regardless of where you order, unless you win an item on ebay that has free shipping. In my opinion, if you just plan to order one coin, don't. Just wait till you can't wait no more, then buy. Since you'll be paying for less shipping if you order in bulk, then individually. And I won't sell them. I'd just continue with what you have, and each time you find a great deal or a deal that's worth it to you, then add to you bullion collection. I'm doing something very similar to you. I'm mainly collecting 1 oz silver rounds, regardless of brand, as long as I don't already have it. But when I find a deal, I'll usually jump on it, so it's not uncommon for me to have 1 oz bars or other things that don't fit into my collection. But I figured I could always trade it or cash in on it, when I need tol. |

APMEX, Provident, SilverTowne, and GoldMart are all good vendors and I would not hesitate to buy from any of them. Shipping costs matter the most when you are buying in small increments; not so much when you are buying larger amounts. The $15 shipping charge look like a lot when you buy a few ounces but not when you buy 100-200 ounces or more. Biggest shipping charge I ever got from APMEX was $24.95 but that was on an order of nearly $8,000 so no biggie as a percentage. SilverTowne is my choice in suppliers for silver bars. I like their 5 and 10 oz bars and they occasionally offer free shipping on them, which is nice. Their price is a little higher than other vendors who sell their bars but at least they have the inventory when I want to buy. |
