Good buy. At spot is an amazing deal right now given that much of the retail silver bullion industry wants 50%+ premiums.

I hear what you're saying, but, as a 44 yr old with an uncatalogued collection, I'd say f-it if I was your age. Just have fun with what you have....
Started collecting at 12 in 1990 and my pre-internet collecting required change/roll searching, the small LCS in town and the yearly coin show at...

Down to $18.22 right now.
