<p>[QUOTE="myownprivy, post: 3584152, member: 84588"]Like we've said before, silver is a great buy if you can get it close to spot or with a premium close to that as what you'd pay for gold (3-5%). The problem with silver is premiums are typically double digits for government issued stuff (10-13%). And the stuff with low premiums are junk silver and generic rounds and bars. Junk and generic rounds and bars are bought back below spot. So the spread you pay is not good. </p><p><br /></p><p>When buying bullion the premium and the buy back prices are the factors that should matter most. Not what spot is and not what "you like."</p><p><br /></p><p>The key to silver is finding junk or generics well below spot and (especially) government issued stuff (Eagles, Maples, etc.) at premiums in the low single digits. If you can do that, silver is a good buy and a great complementary stash to your gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
