I am very interested in buying much more silver but am unfamiliar with the best places to buy. Any advice?   06-12-2009, 12:48 PM   #2 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,407 Blog Entries: 1 most larger coin dealers will be able to sell you bars. __________________   06-12-2009, 12:51 PM   #3 (permalink) bobbeth87 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: I live near Houston, Texas Posts: 1,718 My Mood: The American Silver Eagle coin is one once of silver. It will carry a small premium over spot, but can be a good silver investment. __________________ Bob   07-03-2009, 05:36 PM   #4 (permalink) jamessilver jamessilver   Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 17 My Mood: I have some silver buffalo bullion coins that have the letters "QSB" in small print beside the indian's head. They are beautiful rounds with almost a mirror finish. They say "ONE TROY OUNCE" and ".999+ FINE SILVER." Does anyone know where they come from? I would like more of them.   07-03-2009, 05:48 PM   #5 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,407 Blog Entries: 1 yes james, they were made by Quality Silver Bullion company, a private mint out of Utah. In checking with the company, presently they are selling at .97 over spot today only, no minimum. Normally, it's $1.25 over spot with a twenty piece min. __________________ Last edited by coinman0456; 07-03-2009 at 05:58 PM.

I will make sure to call them today! I don't have a ton of extra cash right now but I will definately take advantage of the 97 cent special. Is it the qualitysilverbullion.com web address? That's the one I will call. Thanks again!   07-03-2009, 07:27 PM   #9 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,407 Blog Entries: 1 Thats it. __________________   07-03-2009, 10:51 PM   #10 (permalink) green18 ANA# R3129541     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 5,750 My Mood: It's all about collecting James.

It seems like I have endless questions! I have a friend with this bar and I am not sure where it came from. It has a symbol on it, and I just would like to know who made it.

How can I place an image so that everyone can see it? I'll try again. He got it off of ebay and we are just trying to figure out the source. I figured ya'll would know!   07-13-2009, 05:56 PM   #15 (permalink) TheNoost huldufolk     Join Date: May 2008 Location: Michigan Posts: 4,276 My Mood: With the silver market going down recently, I have found the spead to be more around $2 - $2.25 for bars over spot. Unless you get more than 100oz. Does this seem reasonable? __________________   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
