[QUOTE="dave_in_delaware, post: 2567699, member: 82414"]I'm interested in obtaining pure (.999+) silver coins for my childrens' birth years (2000, 2001, 2003) to give to them when they each turn 21. I thought it would be a nice gift for their 21st birthday.... My biggest question is: where do I purchase such a thing? Should I order online and probably pay S&H? Order directly from the mint? Or go to my new coin store and see what they have or if they can order it? Another big question is: I'm not even sure what is out there. Do I buy an American Silver Eagle bullion coin? Is that the only .999+ silver US coin out there? (I know many of the commemorative coins are only .900 silver). Or should I get a non-US coin from somewhere? Should it even be a coin, or a bullion bar with the year on it? What should I expect to pay? I'm sure there's a premium on a coin like this, more than the going rate for the silver, regardless of where I get it. Sorry for so many questions. I'm not rich, so I want to do this right the first time. Any suggestions? Opinions on what would be a good gift? Other options out there I haven't thought of?[/QUOTE]
