<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1205932, member: 29012&quot;]Copper is an industrial metal. Silver is both an industrial and a monetary metal, but it follows gold over copper when the trend diverges. I am not bullish on soley industrial metals since that would require a growing economy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as silver, I view generic rounds the same as bars. Make sure they clearly say .999 fine and the weight and you should be able to get close to melt value. Coins differ from rounds in that they are created by a government mint vs. a private one, and will generally fetch a higher premium on both ends of the transaction. There is a case to be made for both. While I like rounds and even more so bars for their lower premium, ultimately a diverse group is what I strive for. You can&#039;t go wrong with American Silver Eagles. I prefer Canadian Maple Leaves though due to .9999 purity which is going to be in a supply crunch far sooner than .999 silver since that .9999 is required for solar panels and other industrial applications requiring maximum purity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
