90% silver vs rounds

[youngbuck]

Well, I was thinking of the Pandas from apmex.com, not ebay or somewhere else. I assume you'd get what you paid for from them..

Maple leafs have the highest purity. 99.99%

Also, the main value of a coin is the guarantee of the government that issued it. Is the guarantee of the US government going to be worth much if the dollar collapses?

Australian coins would be good too, but maple leafs were easier for me to buy and I consider them both good options.

Silver Eagles are .999 pure and that is pure enough in my opinion. Also I disagree, silver is silver.The collapse of the American dollar would not hurt the guarantee of the U.S. Government on a coin made in the past. The eagles in your possession would have already been made and guaranteed. Theres no reason to trust Canda's government over the U.S.A.'s.

I think if the dollar collapsed and you planned on being in the U.S.A. silver american eagles would be THE BEST silver bullion to have. Plus silver eagles are way prettier than maple leafs IMO. The queen of england being on their money is gross (imo).

You would get what you payed for from apmex. There is a hefty charge on pandas above eagles but my local dealers charge even more for them then apmex.

I like 90% silver coins because they're plentiful and represent what money used to be worth. Local coin shops in states with no tax on bullion sales are great. There's no shipping and you get to handle it before you buy it.

Silver market price * .9 = good price for a silver dollar

I made a silver buy apmex yesterday first time. I want to buy 20$ gold AU 07-33. If gold tanked these should stay around 900 right??????? Suggestions,,,,,, it should not hurt as bad as other forms of gold I hope

I'm very suspicous of the 2008 ones. If the collapse happens this year i think they would come into question. Previous years issues always go at a premium.

Just as a lot of the Chinese coins get watered down I would worry about the reputation of American coins would have in the eyes of the rest of the world if the dollar crashed. I would expect to see a lot of counterfieters emerge and soil it as well.

I'm not saying that Silver Eagles are horrible. You can get a dealer to test for silver content. I'm just saying that since the price of the two is essentially the same I would go with Canada.

So do I understand that you are suspicous that the govt deluted the purity of the 2008 Silver Eagles???

I've been purchasing Maple Leafs. They are more expensive then spot, but you can also sell them for more then spot. Thier purity is guaranteed by the Canadian government and they are easily recognizable.

90% bags seem an alright investment too.

ya I have some RCM commerative silver coins a couple with $30 face value, another 4 coins with $ 20 face on them and I have that Amero Silver coin aswell so around 7 ounce's and I ordered some maple leafs not to long ago so that will be another 5 ounce's of silver this time stricly bullion maple leafs .. I think your right about maple leafs they are known in the world as the Best Silver bullion cooin because as you stated its a guaranteed Purity of .9999 four 9's instead of the typical three...



Hey anyone wanna go in on the Green monster the next time there is some big Correction LOL!!!!! we could have 5 guys go in on it at 1500 a piece or more

It seems though that if you were trying to liquidate some coins to someone who wasn't very knowledgeable about coins etc. here in the US, then it'd be easier to use Silver Eagles v Maple Leafs. Just my thought on the issue though. I doubt anyone is really going to care that much about that extra .0009 in most practical situations.

What is the guarantee on loss of shipment when buying coins online?


I'm scared to buy online and I would rather support my local economy via local coin dealer.

Weight and purity is my only concern in a shtf scenario.

I suppose the coin has to be recognizable.

It's the seller's responsibility to get it to you and if it get's lost it is not your problem.

They'll insure it and require signature upon delivery.

You can get much better deals online too. Just bought 40 Silver American Eagles through apmex.com for ~$730. My local dealer wants $880+6% tax for 40 I'd love to support my local coin shop.... but not for that much.

My memory was slightly off...

Order Items:
ID Description Qty Price Total
30111 2008 Silver American Eagles - Brilliant Uncirculated
Quantity of 20 or more come in original mint sealed tubes. 40 $18.29 $731.60
Subtotal: $731.60
S, H, & I: $36.90
Taxes: $0.00
Total: $768.50

...from apmex.com but I also paid with credit which incurred an additional $20 or so. I guess that would make it ~16.90 for shipping if I hadn't paid with credit.

thats $19.21/ea and 2 dollars over spot is typical for American eagles. The amount silver has already gone up has paid for my shipping, insurance, ect

thanks for clearing that up , how long ago did ya get this kerns? Last silver I bought was when silver spot was $16.40

 

[IChooseLiberty]

I sure do wish I'd gotten in when spot was ~$4... but when I start thinking about that I look at this graph:

...and I start feeling better. Check out that spike around 1980.

Yeah them Hunt Brothers really bamboozled everyone though I mean silver went to 50 an ounce and then fell realy badly after . These guy told me that in 1980's his buddy bought Silver at 15 an ounce and that was insane at the time and he kept holding on to it even after the Hunt brothers stuff happened then the price Dropped hardcore and when it was only worth a few bucks an ounce he was giving away 100 ounce bars of it for birthday gifts LOL!!!!!!! Imagine getting that Bar for a gift back then and having it today hahahaha , anyway longstory short this guy is finnaly happy today that silver is above 15 an ounce and He is gonna hold on to it again LOL!!!!! ITs funny how these stuff goes except this times "Bull run" on silver is gonna be more a reality then some Hunt brother stunt I think so its probably a nice idea getting silver even at todays price's cause as you said were due for a SPIKEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

 

[IChooseLiberty]

Check this out...

Look at the buildup to the 1980 spike..... and look at our current buildup. If it's proportional, the spike will be off the map.
