Message:: [QUOTE="MalakingAso, post: 1332622, member: 33557"]I also agree.  ASE's I know are easy to unload if you need to and I am sure the same can be said for Maple Leafs.  The generic rounds are very hard to unload and if you can, you will be lucky to get spot.  I have tried to unload generic rounds and have been unable to.  I have been buying US mint tubes of ASE's and am lucky enough to have a local connection that can get them for me almost anytime. You may want to ask around locally to see if a local coin shop has them or can get them.  If you are patient eBay may be a good place.  Currently ASE mint tubes, if you trust they have never been touched, are selling for right at $700 or $35 which is about $6 over spot.  If you look around you can get them for $3 to $4 straight from the mint. I believe the Maple Leaf tubes, which are 25 per tube instead of 20, are selling for right at $33 per coin or $4 over spot. If you are strictly in this for investment then I would go with ASE's, Maple Leafs and I would also get some gold.  Like others, I believe silver is the way to go but I still think getting some gold is wise as well.  Maybe you do a 70/30 or 80/20 split of silver to gold.  That is my personal recommendation.  Of course you need to do your own research and then do what fits your investing style best.  Good luck.[/QUOTE]
