90% silver vs rounds

[NMCB3]

Dont underestimate silver bars (I like 10 oz, or rounds.) Get reputable names like Englehard, Johnson Matthey, APMEX etc and your good to go. .999 Silver baby, yea thats what I`m talking about. Eagles and Maple leafs are also great, so is 90% coins. It`s all good.

wrong question.....not this vs that, but when when when to cash in your silver for real estate....... ahhh.....paradigm shift folks...... timing is key!

you don't buy silver to just sit on it....you buy it to convert to useable goods or real estate and at the right time...... and to "get" this, you have to go to my thread, understanding petro dollar warfare, then you can make a much more sound decision....it's all about supply and demand!

Silver, like and form of money, CAN be for both short term and long term investments, this means people DO sit on it and it works fine.

Yea, I'd like to use my growing stash of silver to eventually get some good land where I can be self sustaining/independant and still keep some for long term storage and stability. I will check out the petro dollar warfare info.

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!!!!!!!!

Just a footnote:

The Hunt Brothers excursion in silver and gold was hardly a stunt. There was plan behind their move, and it wasn't just fueled by greed. Thats why the fed intervened, and changed the rules of the game. The fed came into the regulated futures markets, and changed the rules of the silver and gold markets to no new buy orders, liquidation only.

Do you think perhaps they felt....threatened?

This changed rule bankrupted the Hunt Family.
You will find alot of information out on the web with regards to the Hunt's and what they were trying to accomplish.
Obviously some of it opinion and some of it fact.

I was there in the middle of it all in 1979 and 1980 at the exchange,, the fact that the fed can come in and change a regulated market at their whim leads me to believe that the Hunts were up to more than just trying to make a buck.

Back to the original topic

I have been buying 999 silver rounds from a reputable dealer.
Their not eagles just plain simple rounds, priced 1 dollar premium above spot quotation.

http://www.nwtmintbullion.com/silver_nwtmintbullion.php

interestingly we have ordered several times from this dealer and the shipments always took 1 week.
This last order took nearly 1.5 months. The dealer stated that they are overwhelmed now with silver purchases and are having difficulty keeping up with demand.

Technically speaking, I watch silver and gold charts very closely, I have been for 25 years or more, yesterdays close confirmed continued strength. The next leg of the rally which I believe will be swift should carry spot into the High 18.00 area. perhaps as soon as midweek.

I just picked an Englehart 10oz bar up on ebay today for a total price of $19.60/oz. That price includes the shipping charge. I'm new to this. Is that a decent price for 10oz?

 

[Michigan11]

I buy an occasional silver eagle or two, now and again.

My favorite is 1oz, Englehard bars, or 10oz bars, you can't go wrong. Easy to exchange, sell, buy, whatever.

Anyone know anything about silver dimes and quarters? Actual numismatics?

Edit: Never mind. I totally skipped to the last page instead of reading the OP

Thats an awesome coin LOL!!!!!!! Oh and Patriot G Im expecting another correction on silver soon and then I will buy again , I think the big Spike wont happen yet , I do see silver at 19 an ounce in the spring time though... I remember year or so ago Gold spiking at 700+ when it was only at 615 an ounce and it shot down below 600 a month or so later cant remeber exactly but I remember it went back to the high 500's and I still though I could wait for another big correction Boy was I wrong LOL!!!!!!!! So I hope I dont get to greedy with silver and wait for corrections instead of buying,I did buy at 16.40 recently so Im showing that im getting immune to these high price's BUT IM DYING FOR JUST ONE MORE BIG SILVER CORRECTION. IF silver dives to 10-12 an an ounce im pouncing on it hard gonna by maybe a $500 dollar face 90% silver bag and atleast 100 ounce kerns. Im not gonna wait and expect another correction if it hits 12 an ounce I cant afford to get screwed again LOL!!!!!

One problem with gold less than an oz is the higher premiums you pay. For smaller budgets I like silver.

There's pretty good deals on ebay. There's plenty of possibilities of picking up 1/10 gold rounds for right around spot, including shipping.

 

[weatherbill]

This is what you get from apmex.com when you order 20 oz of silver rounds....... soem folks here are shooting out their mouths and don't know what they are talking about...... bullion is bullion......don't bother with fancy and rare coins if you're just trying to preserve your wealth.... basic bullion silver is more liquid than rare coinage......they will fetch a higher dollar, but when wanting to invest to trade in the silver for real estate or bartering, silver rounds are excellent .999 silver to move...... rare coins are less liquid becasue they are collector's items....in a time of economic trouble, people don't care about exotic and rare coins....they will buy silver to preserve wealth and barter with, so the basic silver round is excellent for this.

Sounds reasonable with the shipping.

Thinking of buying the 90% $100 bags of US coins. Have 72 ounces of silver. I assume these are just average beat up coins. Are say a single beat up morgan dollar,any harder to trade than a 1 ounce Mathey bar? I mean will you get the going rate with no problems or is there more to it than that. Thanks. Dave

Hey Dave ya man bags are a good way to go and I will be getting some soon, Now Dont worry about trading them , as long as you dont drasticly alter them for reasons I couldnt imagine you should have no problem selling of $5 dollar face value 90% kerns or even a bag of 10 dollar face value bag of 90% kerns.. I bought some nice maple leafs 1 ounce kerns a while back and they are another great way of adding diversity to your silver pool so go ahead and BUY BUY BUY you shouldnt have no problem on getting money for these down the road..

 

[Trigonx]

just purchased me 20 silver rounds from apmex.com for 18.92 per oz. with shipping (it was $10 extra shipping because of CC)

 

[dave68]

Thanks Archie. I will report back on how I do.

 

[Original_Intent]

I have always been a fan of bullion over coins. In a shtf situation, those premiums for coinage will be money lost.
