Best bullion silver coin to own.

If you just care about investing in silver, well then silver's silver. I don't see any evidence that any silver coin is a better investment than any other.

If you're actually collecting these, than it's just a matter of personal preference. Personally I like variety too much to tie myself to any single coin. I like the ASE... but I don't feel like getting multiples of essentially the same coin, so I have a variety of silver "bullion" coins (coins that although collectible, were minted primarily for the sake of bullion investors) including an Australian Lunar new year coin, an Austrian Philharmonic coin, etc. I like the Canadian wolf coin Canada put out in 2006, but it apparently was just a one shot deal, as it didn't prove popular so they only minted it the one year.

silver should test the $18.00 again soon.

 

I voted the silver Chinese Pandas because I like that each year the image of the front coin changes. For some reason, the silver (and gold) Panda coin did not change from 2001 to 2002. There are certain year date silver Chinese Pandas that I like. I also want to eventually collect the entire line of 1/10th oz gold Chinese Pandas.

Overall, my favorite type of silver is 1970's 1-oz silver art bars. It is just considered just silver bullion most of the local coin dealers but I like to collect them.

My order of silver preference:

1. 1-oz 1970's silver art bars.

2. 1-oz silver Chinese Pandas.

3. 1-oz odd year silver Britannias.

 

american eagle one ounce silver dollar dated 2006w, 2007w and 2008w are the best bullion coins to invest.

2006w - 496,200
2007w - 555,998
2008w - 528,536 - not final

2008 - 20,583,000
2009 - 22,707,500 - not final

 

so what do you think a MS70 2007W ase is worth? and will rise to be worth?

 

You can grab one right now on ebay for $59.00 or BIN for $75.00

Should become an $100 coin in time.

 

already got a 2007W MS70 for $65.03 total

how would 2006W 2007W 2008W line up exactly in worth the most?
like this?

1. 2006W
2. 2007W
3. 2008W

or would the 2008W be worth more then the 2007W?

 

i don't have any idea regarding ms70. i don't believe in it.

the regular prices for these were:
2006w - $70 to $75
2007w - $30
2008w - $30

 

FOR REAL? I'll sell you alot of 2007w & 2008w ase's for $30 a piece

 

those prices i have mentioned are for maximum retail value. if you sell them to a dealer. 07w and 08w were both bullion value.

 

so what do you guys think the prices of the Westpoint ASE's will do or reach with the 2009w cancellation?

 

i got five australian lunar series II year of the ox (2009) and four year of the rat (2008). planning to buy the year of the tiger (2010), year of the rabbit (2011) and year of the dragon (2012). the rest of the series. i am not interested were the snake, horse, goat, monkey, roster, dog and boar.

 

I focus on Canadian Maples, Austrian Philharmonic coins and Buffalo Rounds. Im not really a fan of American Eagles and I have yet to buy one.

 

As far as bullion coinage I like to diversify,mean some of each theoretically,what it boils down too is what kind of deal I can get when I'm in the buying mood,if a person has one oz. ase's sitting next to 1 oz maple leafs I'm buying the one priced the nearest to spot prices,I stay away from the ones folks think are special,cause with silver I'm investing in siler and not numastics. Not to say I havn't bought numastic silver coinage but it is kept and dealt with seperately. Plain old 1oz silver rounds and art rounds in .999 that I find for under spot value because of tarnish,or handling scratches are great too,and maybe my favorite,treated as bullion they give a monetary gain right away,buying .999 1oz art rounds for 13.50 when spot is 17.50 has got to be worth something?

 

I would like 1911 silver canadian coin not the fake one.

 

1. ase for recognition
2. britannia for uk cgt exemption
3. philharmonic for most compact roll of 20 - easy to store and liquidate in bulk
possible downside being the non-milled edge - coins should milled for a reason

obviously all government coins guarantee weight, purity and recognition - so in the end i wouldn't quibble about premiums, i'd be focussing on actual metal weight. for short term liquidation, i would always go with ase's which i personally deem to be the de facto standard.

 

art rounds and bars are good to own, but they will be the hardest to liquidate in a quick sale due to the lack of recognition or guarantee. i personally aim to have no more than 10% of total silver in obscure pieces. these are fine to sell to a refiner or an expert, but for normal trade, recognised bars and coins make for easier transactions.

 

Actually, all gold and silver coins and bars are fairly easy to liquidate, however, the dealer will discount the silver art bars and rounds more than they will discount an SAE or other recognized silver. Selling silver art bars and rounds on ebay is the best way IMO to get the best deal for the silver art rounds and silver art bars as opposed to selling them to a local coin dealer. Gold and silver are easy to liquidate but what you get for them depends on what type of gold or silver it is and where you go to liquidate them.
