<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 26712802, member: 41780"]I agree. But I think this prolonged bull market has been a stress-test of sorts regarding what's most liquid. People speculated in various ways about an economic collapse, saying food and bullets beat silver (it's still hypothetical because that collapse hasn't happened). People also speculated that 90% junk silver would generally be ideal precisely for the reasons you stated. But the fact is, when prices reached the peak at over $120, .999 silver was more liquid and brought the best resale prices. Many coin shops even refused to buy 90% silver due to liquidity constraints. So we can see this scenario repeat in the future, should refiners be inundated with silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that 90% silver is great, historical, and easy to verify. I think there will always be buyers for it, especially among fellow stackers. I also think premiums for 90% are likely to exceed premiums for .999 once again. I don't think you can go wrong holding 90% silver in the long run. But I think we've seen that Silver Eagles and Maple Leafs are probably the most liquid in all scenarios, followed by maybe .999 bars and coins from reputable private mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
