[QUOTE="buyingsilvers, post: 1314346, member: 18821"]between eagles & maples, eagles are the better buy... unless you plan on encapsulating the maple as soon as you buy it since they scratch & ding so easily. An impaired maple will probably net you spot price of gold at the best when you sell. If you can get them at the same price, you should go with eagles since they tend to carry a higher premium. Kruggerands at low/no premium is probably a better buy though. For junk silver, mercuries are probably ok if it's your first couple hundred dollars worth. After that, halves are probably a better bet. Dimes tend to be a nuisance to count and roll. You should be able to pick this up pretty close to spot. For normal silver bullion, try to get it close to spot, maybe $.50 over. If eagles or other govt. minted coins, try not to pay more than $3 over spot. To me, it really doesn't matter that much the form you're buying, as long as you're not overpaying.[/QUOTE]
