[QUOTE="sunflower, post: 1075137, member: 23219"]Just buy, buy, buy. Let your family and friends think of you as the bullion bully. Push those green backs into silver every chance you get. Since you are only talking about a few ounces at a time and you are new, then just jump in. The dollar cost averaging will happen on its own at the rate you might be making your purchases. For larger purchases (over $3,000) I like Franklin Sander's prices at the MoneyChanger, but that is not your question. There are tons of people and places to check out with the larger bank roll. Just start getting some. The Canadian Mapels are one my personal favorites. I like the $5.00 denomination vs. $1.00 with Silver American Eagles. Also, if you are in the US, consider places where you can pick up old 90% coins still in their cardboard holders from longtime collectors. These are often a real deal. Learn to make a approximation of what actual melt is to spot for the various silver compositions that you come upon, 100%, 90%, etc. (understand the spot to face denomination of the coin you are considering, .10 .25, .50, 1.00). Just get in. Get in ASAP. This is not rocket science!. I have goofed so bad in the past - so I thougth at the time. As it turns out, I am sitting pretty good. Time heals a lot of errors in judgement when it comes to silver (and gold too these days). One other thought to consider with online dealers, it is called shipping and insurance fees. Good luck.
