<p>[QUOTE="Argenteus Fossil, post: 1949776, member: 71478"]The coins are definitely more trustworthy. If they were not there would not be a question or a thread discussing it. However bars are cheaper. It's a risk/reward tradeoff. The extra confidence provided in an ASE, for example, cost something that is reflected in the premium. If you are buying x amount of silver, you will pay x amount more for the Eagles. That x amount of silver would cost x amount less if purchased in bars meaning that you could purchase additional bars. The additional bars purchased could potentially make up for if a bar turns up as fake later. This is theoretical and very rarely actually occurs. This is just the logic that is reflected in premiums. Personally, I would do some combination of coins and bars (and different coins and different bars) and I would purchase them at different times from different dealers... Diversify as much as possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
