Lots of sound, thoughtful posts. Very good reasoning and logic. The truth is, silver will fall back to under $20/oz in the next 6 months. I know...
I'm wavering. I like some things about each. When the right AU58 comes along I'll probably sell both. Which do you prefer and why? Guess the...

Kinda bullion with maybe a little collectible value. Lance. [IMG][IMG]

The first, by a long shot. I am not fond of the second. Lance.
