<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 2732694, member: 38783&quot;]All of them, I do not discriminate.&nbsp; I treat my collection the same way I look at my overall investment strategy - diversify.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also set my stash into two categories - &quot;collections&quot; and &quot;bullion&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Collections consist of any &quot;artful&quot; pieces - such as the dragons, the private mint series like the Zombucks, Privateer, Cleopatra, yadda yadda.&nbsp; These are what I will organize, put into albums and display, and I don&#039;t pay attention to premiums - they are collectors pieces first, bullion second.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bullion on the other hand goes into tubes and boxes and into safe places such as my SDB to only see the light of day when I either add more, or cash some in.&nbsp; I will usually buy on lowest total cost (spot + payment method overhead + shipping).&nbsp; My bullion consists of:</p><p>Silver:</p><p>- any government minted silver rounds (ASE&#039;s, Maples, Pandas, etc)</p><p>- primarily US mint junk silver coins, mostly 90%</p><p>- private mint bars, typically silvertowne, sunshine mint, Provident, APMEX</p><p>Gold:</p><p>- any government minted rounds (AGEs, Maples, Sovereigns, Krugerrands)</p><p>- private mint bars in assay cards (pamp, valcambi, etc)</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have several &quot;hand pour&quot; silver pieces, which don&#039;t always fit into an easy classification, and I treat them more as novelty pieces than true bullion.</p><p><br /></p><p>For bullion storage, I will typically keep junk silver and silver rounds, as well as gold rounds, in tubes.&nbsp; Bars up to 10oz go into individual air-tites because they fit and stack much easier than the plastic sleeves they come in.&nbsp; And yeah, the air-tites are a little more expensive, but honestly, if I&#039;m tossing that much cash at a 10oz bar, the extra buck for the storage is worth it to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
