Quote:Wow those are really nice! All that shiny silver
Indeed so, Jango. Like a piece of fine art, it is food for the soul to possess and look at such nice coins. I have other silver coins too but the ASEs will always be my favorites. Their design is timeless and at 1-oz. they are a solid chunk of silver that puts all of the circulated cupro-nickel coins to complete shame... as well they should!

Alright, well done on the Provident order!
Thanks, Hawk. This was a test to see how they would do. As far as I can see, they did OK. I still like
APMEX but Provident is often a little cheaper, especially with $7-8 less for shipping.

And considering we got into silver hoarding around the same time we would have around the same amount, if I hadn't decided to get into gold as well.
Yep, there is that. OTOH, your gold coins and bars are pretty sweet too. I would not mind having some gold. I will one of these days but for now I'm concentrating on building up my 1000 oz. silver hoard. Would like to get some silver bars next. The 10-oz. bars look good to me, especially the ones that are wrapped in plastic to protect them from air and grubby hands.

Plus you are in position to buy in bulk, where I have to go one piece at a time, but in the end the means matters not, it is the final numbers is all that matters....
Yes, I can because of the saving, planning, and investing that I have done in the past. This order is not really buying in bulk yet. For that, I will be looking for about 50 of those nice 10-oz. silver bars. Now, THAT will be some bulk! At least for me.
I love the idea of owning silver and gold too. I can hardly believe that I am coming to this party so late in the day. Better late than never, though, right?
It is so nice to own something that has REAL value and that can't be made cheaper by government incompetence. When you have an oz. of silver or gold, you have REAL money; not just the promise of payment but payment itself. Neither Uncle Ben nor Mr. Geithner can make our silver or gold worth less by printing a lot more of them. That alone should make them FAR more desirable than any paper currency of supposedly equal value.

And we got another half year to go, and as we all know when summer passes, and the gov drops their "new plan", we will see the PM's take off again....
Indeed we do. Need we say how we think that financial wizardry will end? Something tells me that it will be Lions 1 and Christians 0... and we be the Lions! Rawr!
