<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 1723228, member: 41780"]I can only relate my personal experience, but I sold some Canadian dimes under spot on Feebay one time, because I already filled up a tube. So I found out the hard way that foreign junk silver sells for a discount in the U.S. (tho some areas up north close to the border may have a premium with Canadian coins). Currently, the premiums for 90 percent U.S. silver do not strike me as too high, and appear to be dropping over time. I think foreign numismatic silver coins are good as investments, because they sell for nice premiums on websites like eBay. Junk silver from China and Japan, assuming it is authentic, will carry very sweet premiums on eBay. I am thus a big fan of Chinese and Japanese junk silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>Still, for the sake of diversity it doesn't hurt to own junk silver from Canada. If silver ever goes substantially higher, it's possible the bias against foreign junk silver will disappear, and people will scramble for any kind of real silver they can get their hands on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
