<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 1034298, member: 21603&quot;]If you want the physical silver, and you want it immediately, any local coin shop should have some bullion for you to buy.&nbsp; I can explain silver better than gold, because that&#039;s what I mostly invest in.&nbsp; I agree that ASE are a good way to start.&nbsp; I recommend buying a whole roll of ASE that come in a tube of 20.&nbsp; The dealer will charge you a premium on each coin you buy.&nbsp; A good premium at this time is $2.50 or less.&nbsp; So, with silver at $27.30 and the premium, the tube will cost you around $600.&nbsp; If you buy less coins that a whole roll, they usually cost more (have a higher premium ~$3.00) and will be harder to store, without the tube.</p><p><br /></p><p>If 20 ounces of silver ($600) is too much for you at this time, another good way to invest is in junk silver coins (any dime, quarter or half dollar dated 1964 or earlier).&nbsp; When asking to buy these, ask for the coin type and state you want bullion.&nbsp; &quot;Do you have any Franklin half dollars bullion style?&quot;&nbsp; I recommend buying at least $10 face value.&nbsp; So, 20 Franklin half dollars makes $10 face.&nbsp; $10 face value has 7.26 ounces of silver and usually sells for a few percentage over spot.&nbsp; 7.26X$27.30X1.02=~$200, or 1/3 the cost of the ASEs.</p><p><br /></p><p>SELLING.&nbsp; When you go to sell the ASE, you will most likely get either spot or a few percentage less.&nbsp; $27.30X.98=$26.75.&nbsp; So, at current prices you can expect to buy ASE for $30 and sell them for $26.75.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When you go to sell your junk silver (pre &#039;65), you will most likely get around 90% spot for it.&nbsp; 7.26X27.30x.90=$178.&nbsp; So, at current prices you can expect to buy $10 face for $202 and sell it for $178.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might be able to get better percentages then what I have given, but the numbers I&#039;ve given are typical.&nbsp; For instance, you can get better percentages on line than from a coin dealer, but then you have to have an account and have it mailed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The price difference between the buy and sell means you will have to wait for silver to rise about $3-$4 before you make any profit at all, hence, this is a long term investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
