[QUOTE="myownprivy, post: 3613744, member: 84588"]Pass on all you've listed in your topic post. The reason "seminumismatic" silver should almost always be a "pass" is because 1) most silver will tone and some silver will milk spot, thus killing the collectible value, 2) dealers generally don't care about extra numismatic value on bullion. It's all just bullion to them. So you will have trouble ever recouping your cost. 3) they are usually unusual items made by lower profile mints and are therefore less recognizable or easily authenticated to the average bullion buyer, therefore you will have a harder time reselling them. Seminusimatic silver is perhaps ONLY a good buy if you intend to "flip it" right away for a profit or you like the item and don't mind overpaying because it is for your own collection with no intention to ever sell. Thus, I would stick to: 1. Canadian Silver Maples: Medium premium, highest level of security, high level of recognition 2. 90% US Silver: low premium, high level of security due to low value, high level of recognition 3. American SIlver Eagles medium premium, medium level of security, high level of recognition 4. Britannia, Kangaroo, Philharmonic, Krugerrand, medium premium, medium security, medium recognition Avoid: Generic rounds: low premium, low level of security, low level of recognition (with some exceptions, such as security features of Sunshine rounds) Generic bars: low premium, lowest level of security, low levels of recognition[/QUOTE]
