You’re unfortunately too late to use my strategy. I bought at the most recent peak and have been watching it crash every day.

Try to find a local dealer who will agree to selling at spot plus $2 or 2.50 and buy at $2 under spot, that give him a $4 hedge and you won’t have to pay shipping and insurance.

If there is a mine/refinery in your area you may be able to buy at $1.50 over spot and sell at $1.50 under spot.

If you must buy online try www.Kitco.com or www.apmex.com But buying local or from a mine/refinery is really your best bet.

Keep in mind, silver coins are not .999 fine, for instance a Morgan silver dollar is .77 of the one ounce price. A good melt calculator is found at: http://www.coinflation.com/coins/silver_coin_calculator.html

Hope that helps, by the way, with silver under $20 an ounce, this would seem to be a great time to buy.

why do you want to pay for the striking costs and other handling fees to buy coins? Silver troy ingots same stuff less intermediaries, more industrial demand, IE better faster cheaper.

I buy my gold and silver at a local coin dealer. All you have to do is compare internet prices, delivered to your door, to the local prices. There are any number of coin dealers and pawn shops in every community who sell gold and silver coins.

buy from a vendor that doesn’t charge state sale taxes on PMs.

I don’t think you’re going to find big dealers that even carry 1/10 oz silver bullion coins. Even half-ounce silver bullion coins are probably hard to find.

I have used APMEX. My purchases have been a mix of one ounce bullion, ingots and junk silver.

One purchase I have made was war nickels. These were produced during WWII because of shortages of nickel for war production and were produced with 35% silver. They are easy to identify with the large mint mark above Monticello on the back.

The reason for this was so that after the war the mint could pull them quickly from circulation. I believe because of the gold seizure many Americans bitterly had the same idea.

I have read on many forums how many like the junk silver dimes, but at the same time there is an admission that the coins have not held up well in circulation and have significant wear reducing the weight and silver content.

The nickels have held up much better and up to recently 15¢ (3 nickels) could still purchase a gallon of gas (based on silver content). The same price as when the nickels were minted.

Just something to consider if we go back to a bullion exchange system supplementing fiat currency. JMHO and YMMV.

P.S. For a long while they became very popular and were unavailable. They are finally back in stock.

I think you’ll find these folks very competitive in their pricing.
