[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1264677, member: 27043"]Local coin shop, craigslist, ebay, or even [URL="http://www.cointalk.com/t191897/"]in the classifieds here[/URL]. Dozen different answers here, DYODD. Bottom line...an ounce of gold is an ounce of gold. Unless you buy bullion coins in extremely high grades (and pay the premium above gold price to do so) you're unlikely to realize any return as a collectible. So...bluntly...buy the metal you want for as inexpensively as you can. Same answer as above. Yes. US Mint Silver Proof Sets contain half dollars, quarters, and dimes in 90% "coin silver"...the same amount of silver as pre-1965 circulating coinage contained. SOME places will pay slightly better for these coins, as they are considered to have 'all of their original metal" and have not been worn down, due to their nature as uncirculated proof struck coins. You will, of course, also pay a bit of a premium above silver price, if purchasing from the mint, since they are minted as collectibles. No apology needed, and :welcome: to CT![/QUOTE]
