<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave_in_delaware, post: 2569567, member: 82414&quot;]Thanks all for the replies. I do appreciate all the info. I&#039;m trying to absorb all the knowledge I can, and with the combined knowledge of this forum I just have to ask questions!</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that coin dealers have to make some money (or else why bother?), so there will be a markup. I just had no idea how much markup to expect.</p><p><br /></p><p>After doing some price research online last night, am I safe to say that the prices for .999 pure silver in its various &quot;forms,&quot; from lowest to highest, would be:</p><p><br /></p><p>bullion bars &lt; rounds &lt; ASE&#039;s</p><p><br /></p><p>So I could save some money if I wanted to obtain pure silver by buying bars or rounds vs. actual collectible currency like ASE&#039;s?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;ve seen some &quot;damaged&quot; items listed on some of the sites. Abrasions or spots don&#039;t affect the value (weight) of silver do they? Obviously if there&#039;s a piece missing from a 1 oz coin or bar that would affect the total weight. What about &quot;imperfections&quot; on an ASE?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for so many questions. Trying to learn all I can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
