They always sell at a premium to generic silver and 90% coins and when the market turns down, you will want to own what is easiest to sell for full value rather than what was cheapest to buy. The post above that indicates that they don't is incorrect. I would avoid Ebay [there are many pitfalls] and never buy a coin on impluse. Never buy something where you can't recognize the issuer. Just because a silver round is marked .999 silver doesn't mean it is. So just try to keep things simple. I think American Silver Eagles the best despite the premium. Around me, dealers currently pay $1.50 OVER spot for them while almost every other form is at a discount to spot. Keep it simple and have fun with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
