<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1520510, member: 38849&quot;]If you don&#039;t care about looks, buy junk silver.&nbsp; It&#039;s the cheapest way to buy silver, and it&#039;s in smallish denominations suitable for barter.&nbsp; If the crunch comes, not many people will be able to &quot;make change&quot; for a 1-ounce coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would NEVER buy rounds or bars -- I don&#039;t want to have to PROVE that they are good silver to a skeptical buyer down the line.&nbsp; In fact, I CAN&#039;T prove it.&nbsp; And neither can you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any day now, we&#039;ll start seeing counterfeit-but-correct-weight APMEX or Engelhard rounds and bars.&nbsp; Maybe already?</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, once in a while you will find a numismatic coin in junk silver; my most recent, a BU 1948 Franklin.&nbsp; Just avoid the THIN worn-out Mercury dimes and S.L. quarters.&nbsp; That&#039;s your only worry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
