Generic rounds or ASE?

Purpose: Investing, not collecting. Buying about 3-4 rounds.

ASE:

Pros:

Collectible.
Can easily sell.

Cons:
Higher Premiums.

Generic Silver Rounds:

Pros:
Cheaper

Cons:
Possibly harder to sell.

Thing is...

Generic silver can be had for a low premium, generally you cannot sell it for a premium (usually).

ASE has a higher premium, but question is...can the premium be given back if it's time to sell?

Also, If I buy ASE, I'm thinking of putting them in paper envelopes so they tone. Not to make a profit on (takes years to tone), but to have slabbed if they do tone 5-20 years from now.

If i were you, at your age, I would invest in a college education, or learn a trade.

 

I knew this was going to happen. He is simply asking which to buy. I don't see why people feel the need to tell him how to live his life. This is a bullion forum not a life skills class. 1st post and already hijacked.

 

He is asking for investment advice. I think investing in ones self is the best you can do.

 

i also a young collector would say silver eagles they are just great coins look coin and for the most part hold value !

 

He's asking about which type if silver bullion to invest in. He's not asking about investing in other areas.

 

I dont approve of him investing in silver.

 

Really you don't approve. Are you his dad or something?

 

I am not his dad. However, he has asked this question before. There were two pages of responses. How do they say, "beating off a dead horse"

First off you quote is disturbing. 2nd he was simply discussing generic rounds in that thread. Now he is asking which to buy.

 

yes, and I say neither.

 

I agree, 1 thread per topic.

4 – Multiple posts and/or threads.
