<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 5186574, member: 10461&quot;]If you are stacking silver on a small budget, my suggestion would be to get an inexpensive coin album (Whitman, Dansco, Littleton, H.J. Harris, etc.)- or a couple of them- and work on collecting a series of silver coins (like Mercury dimes or silver Roosevelts or Washington quarters or Franklin halves), where you can buy the coins for as close as possible to their bullion (aka &quot;spot&quot; or &quot;melt&quot;) price.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then you&#039;re tucking away some silver bullion, but also working on a date/mint set without paying too high a premium over spot price.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re buying these coins in bulk from bullion dealers (APMEX, etc.), at near-spot prices, then you can keep working through the bulk lots and pulling out the dates you need for your album.&nbsp; You can continuously be filling holes and upgrading the coins as you find better examples- but <i>stay close to spot price the whole time</i>.&nbsp; Don&#039;t worry about the key dates until later, if you even want to get them.&nbsp; Just work on what you can buy as close to spot as possible.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This way you get the best of both worlds: you&#039;re still saving some bullion, but you&#039;ll probably also find some coins with a modest numismatic premium as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
