[QUOTE="sakata, post: 2653655, member: 23778"]One thing that no one seems to have addressed is your motivation for collecting/accumulating any of the items. One person did comment that there can be an learning advantage to going through junk silver, but a lot of people do it to fend of a future financial crisis in the hope that it will provide leverage for barter.

Coins, are probably best left as a hobby unless you have a budgets which can buy the very best. So which is it? Do you think the world is going to collapse? Then buy junk silver? Do you think the dollar is going to collapse? Then buy silver bars and rounds. If you think neither will collapse then enjoy your collecting? Personally I like to hedge my bets.
