Great picture and example from Tripncoin above, and all those pictured if listed right now in a 24 hour auction on ebay starting at a dollar, would produce I would guess just over 50 an perhaps as high as 60 bucks.... You have to account for listing fees, pay pal, and shipping, but still I wished I had that connection here local, 38 total for any of the above pictured.... |

Thanks for all the advice. I bought the 2012 United States Coin Guide to help me out a bit so I understand the grading scales a little bit. Pretty stoked to start collecting my friends mom gave me a 1964 Roosevelt dime and I wanna say its a 1913 buffalo head but its pretty worn down so you cant see the date but the dime is actually in pretty good condition I know these two pieces aren't much but they were gifts I guess so its a start. I learned today that I have a coin shop in my town so gonna go check it out in the next couple days I hope its legit. I was wondering whats a good thing to keep coins in to keep them in good condition. |

Airtight capsules I like, some use simple plastic sleeves, and graded coins are of course sealed away under airtight plastic forever.... I saw a 1913 graded Buffalo nickle on ebay I recall, and it was like in between 100 and 200 dollars, but of course it was in good graded condition which means everything.... Keep it up, and keep us listed on what you find and go after. I know off of the top of my head, the ASE, the Canadian wolf and bear/wildlife coins, and the China panda's are sought after by many, so those are always good starting rounds if re-sale is a major priority to you.... |

I think that the way you buy silver should be the same as the reason you are buying silver in the first place. Diversification.
Out of all the silver I own I try to keep;
40% in 90% US Classic silver coins
10% in foreign classic silver
20% in premium bullion and bars (ASE's, Englehard, Etc.)
30% in non premium bullion bars and coins
This has worked well for me thus far. I do though keep very tight purchase records. I track date, location, purchase price + premium, spot that day, and description.
Now this might be over kill, but I'm a bit of a numbers guy.

I agree. I also keep a detailed excel sheet of all my purchases, count, cost, spot price that day etc.

My Buffalo nickel is in pretty poor condition so its hard to put a value on it but its still cool to have. Ill have to go check out my coin shop here in town for some sleeves and airtight plastic. I'm bidding on a 64 Kennedy half dollar right now thought that would be a good start but I'm really liking the ASEs, probably next on my list for sure. |

i dug this one out becasue since silver hit $0 again I've slowed my buying down focusing on engelhard bars, this enables me to get my silver fix on without buying quantity. I've snagged 8 so far in the past 3 or 4 days, getting them for $42-44. cheapest one came in at $41 shipped.
i think I'm going to look at high end 1oz bars more, I read an article that pamp suisse and JM are the preferred forms of silver in europe.
