Message:: [QUOTE="krispy, post: 618846, member: 19065"]I used to buy 1 oz rounds and bars from about '85 to '95. It was a simple way for me to save my money that I earned in simple lawn care jobs that I did for money in my neighborhood as a teenager. Otherwise, I'd have spent the money on something else if the cash was laying around. Plus it always kept me close to coin dealers and collecting. Super glad! that I was infatuated with the white metal back then and all those private mint rounds I bought as opposed to acquiring just a handful of bullion silver eagles. I saved a lot of money, got a lot of rounds, at low prices then, must have averaged about $6/oz to $9/oz including the dollar over spot from my dealer. After the mid 90s I dropped out of buying silver regularly but left all I'd acquired in storage. Sometime in the Spring of 2006 silver was on the rise and I decided to liquidate my holdings which had gotten to bulky for me. This stash gave me a great springboard into the world of gold bullion, which I traded up for all in one full trade from silver holdings. I don't miss the weight of dealing with all those ounces and now my SDB has plenty of room for new acquisitions without its weight breaking my arms when I pull it out for review. I love silver in rounds, small bars and coins. Silver is a wonderful investment, a beautiful metal and one I recommend to everyone. Don't underestimate its power and potential.[/QUOTE]
