What To Invest In As Far As Silver?

Mulder,
In many ways, you have answered your own question.
Q. What to invest in as far as silver?
A. Silver!
Invest in silver. I do. And as little money as I have, I make up for it in legwork.
Lets suppose (and I believe it is true,) that this is a buyer's market.
And suppose that the silver market is driven by industrial needs and not just investment and jewelry markets, as is gold.
I find two productive sources. Bullion and melt coins.
Bullion is 99%+ silver, and when you decide to sell silver, no one cares if they are art bars, rounds or American eagles. Buy and sell by weight.
If you want to capitalize on rarity, condition, or collectability, then invest in rare, prime condition art silver.
But when silver sells for $20/oz., your MS70 American Silver Eagle isn't worth 10 cents more than a 2002 Christmas Bar, to the refinery that sells silver for the X-ray industry.
Silver is silver.
Buy it as such.
Melt bucket coins are very similar except you need to pay attention to the weight and purity differences.
If you're going to be a silver hound, you'll learn to find bargains in unpopular bars, rounds and melt bucket coins. When I sell to my dealer for melt value, he does not care that the Peace dollar, was in a belt buckle, fell onto the highway and got run over, and then was used as a soft jaw in the vise to work on a firearm.
Silver is silver.
If I haven't answered your question, let me know. I will try to clarify and explain further.
If I have answered your question, I expect you will cogitate for a bit and want to pose your next question.
Do.
That's why we are here.
And thank you for affording me the opportunity to express my thoughts.
The real experts will be along shortly, and delight in proving me wrong.
I really do like them. It's how I learn.
Good luck.

like I always say ASE are my favorite in regards to silver

To answer what should you invest in as far as silver, the answer is honestly absolutely nothing.

Spot price has been falling for two years straight and has basically had 2 good chances to cash in in the last 50 years. It's way to high right now to even think about that. Time doesn't mean it's going up either.

The ONLY thing that anyone should consider for PM investment are the stocks. No premium, no seller fees, can be bought and sold in a second with a click of a mouse. I wouldn't touch those either right now. Other than that buy bullion because you like it not because you think you'll make money, there's a lot of people underwater with their silver investments who were thinking the same thing.

I completely stopped spending money at work for breaks to save up a little for whatever reason, if I'm ever up in the area again I'll stop by the coin shop and get some franklins, I don't have any of those, or Peace dollars

I would buy any undamaged world silver coins at melt.

Flipping them will require some solid knowledge as to what is a good pick and has numismatic value, and it is not exactly as liquid, but there is always a chance that you will score... and this chance is much higher than the chance of pulling American key dates out of junk silver (which is also possible ).

If I had $150 to invest in silver right now, I'd buy a 5 oz ATB, and you'd still have about $20 left over.

One thing I have recently done to kind of diversify my silver is to buy both Silver Eagles and foreign silver coins. I have several Libertads, Chinese pandas, Australian kookaburras and koalas, Canadian maple leaf coins, etc. That way, if something, like say, the 2013 Kookaburra, skyrockets in price, I can sell it, buy MORE silver, and still have a collection that's not all ASEs. When you buy them fresh from the mints, they are usually only a little more than what you'd pay for ASEs. Just an idea.
