<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 1723257, member: 41780"]No problem. One thing to keep in mind, tho it may seem obvious, is that junk silver sells for a premium in whatever country the silver comes from. So, for example, German junk silver sells for a premium in Germany, and Spanish junk silver sells for a premium in Spain. One advantage to U.S. junk silver is that it is universally recognized and desired. If you are being offered Canadian junk silver in the U.S., make sure the premium is very low if you are going to buy. I say that because it is not fair for silver to have to rise 20 percent or more for you to recover your cost. So bullion rounds or bars may be preferable to foreign junk silver. I do like foreign coins, but I generally buy them in good condition so that they have at least some numismatic value, and will especially lean toward rarer dates or mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
