<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jsvand5, post: 1815469, member: 58411&quot;]I am looking into buying a few ounces a month to one day give to my son. I figure if I buy a few oz a month he will have a lot of weight by the time he is an adult. I have found 5 oz silver bars from silvertowne for around $114 with free shipping. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Then I see sites selling $10 face vaule of junk silver for between $165 up to $185. Since $10 face has 7.15 oz silver that would be between $23 and 25.80 an oz before taking shipping into account. The 5 oz bars come out to about $22.90 an oz with free shipping. Is there any advantage to buying the coins over the bars? Seems to me the bars would be the way to go but I wasn&#039;t sure if collectors preferred the junk coins for some reason?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to be able to buy gold instead but even the 1/10th oz coins are a little more than I would like to spend per month and I figured that my son would be better off with 40-50 lbs of silver when he is an adult compared to maybe a pound of gold. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help and suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
