[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1917792, member: 38849"]If you want silver PURELY for protection from inflation, then you buy "junk silver," pre-1965 dimes, quarters, and half dollars in circulated condition, where you get the most bang for the buck. If you're more of a coin collector, then you buy silver eagles and various silver Mint products (but expect to pay a significant premium over current price per ounce). If you want flashy silver, buy rounds and bars, but keep in mind that somewhere down the line, you may have to convince a skeptical buyer that they are really silver, especially the mints and designs no one's ever heard of. If you need money fast, that may be a problem. Because I keep silver separate (both mentally and physically) from my coin collection, my holdings are 90% junk silver and 10% eagles. No high-priced slabbed Mint products for me, and absolutely no bars or rounds. You may wish to do something different. If things really come to a crunch in 3 to 5 years, a slabbed PF-70 Mint product that cost $$$ will sell for melt, just like junk silver, in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
