JoggingLiberty Valued Member 292 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 09:08 am Oh hi! I've been busy trying to make these stinkin YouTube videos and I need your help. I don't want to lead new investors and collectors in the wrong direction. I strive to help others through my experiences both good and bad. That being said, I need your input. Tell me what key points I'm lacking as I can't always remember everything. Also, if you have any suggestions on future videos please tell me :) Here's a recent one about name brand silver vs generic: YPioLqZbc_A Thanks for your time! -Spegtacular Report this Post to the Staff

Phlogiston49869 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 8:42 pm Pretty thorough treatment. Government issue silver like Maple Leafs have anti-counterfeit measures. That might be a "pro". Sunshine Mint has their decoding viewer - not sure what to call that device - that is also touted as an anti-counterfeit measure. Also, China being the source of many counterfeit silver coins and bars, I personally wouldn't feel confident recommending Pandas or any other product from that country. Nice video, though. I hope there is much silver ahead for your Christmas. Report this Post to the Staff

NDBirdman Pillar of the Community United States 747 Posts	Posted 12/24/2018 01:48 am I was going to buy some sunshine mint and some others but the dealer told me, pay more from me out the door but I will pay the same to buy it back as generic silver. He says generic is best, lower premium with same buy back as fancy mints. So I just buy junk and generic, mostly silver towne I think is the mint of generic. Report this Post to the Staff
Phlogiston49869 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/24/2018 02:50 am @NDBirdman: The type or form of precious metal one buys should suit your reasons for wanting it. If you're buying as a hedge against inflation then gold or silver in easily recognizable form will probably suit you best. A relatively short term disruption of financial or social infrastructure would be a good time for any PMs so low overhead purchasing is a great strategy. If you're buying in anticipation of a near-extinction level event, then junk silver and 9mm ammo caches are a good choice. If your trying to cover all the bases then, as JoggingLiberty noted, diversify. I don't think of gold or silver in buy-back terms or as an investment, so I keep my PMs on my terms, not a shopkeeper's. Your mileage may vary. Hope Santa brings you some silver.
