I agree with your thoughts on silver. I'm thinking now with silver at this low of $14.95 oz [Feb 4] -is a very, very good time to buy bulk silver coins such as the 1 oz American silver eagles, 1 oz Canadian silver mapleleafs or 1 oz Silver Mexican Libertads? I like the long term on silver. And by long term I mean one year or more. There are three coin dealers that I call to get three different quotes when I've bought coins. (ck your local yellow pages) The correct going rate from coin dealers for silver (and gold coins) should be no more then three and a half (3 1/2 percentage over spot) This is what your local coin dealer should be charging. (but to get 3 1/2 percent spot you usually must purchase at least 100 coins -or the percentage could be up to 5% over spot) [the Am. eagle coins have a higher premium, so you could buy the Liberates or ask for the price of the his 1 oz bars ]
