<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 201678, member: 6492&quot;]Hi Eustacian,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I don&#039;t know about the greenback becoming worthless, but I do think that gold and silver are in a long term bull market and will be worth more tomorrow than they are today.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The silver eagles have a slightly higher premium just because they&#039;re american silver eagles.&nbsp; For example, they&#039;re marked up a bit more than canadian maple leafs.&nbsp; And both, being actual coinage of a country, are marked up more than a plain vanilla 1 ounce silver &#039;round&#039; or a silver bar.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The cheapest (closest retail price to the spot price of silver) way to amass bullion is to buy silver rounds or ingots.&nbsp; While rounds come in 1 oz, ingots come in 1, 10 and 100 oz sizes.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With any purchase, there is a discount for quantity and silver eagles and bullion are no different.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Note that you can also buy plain circulated 90% silver U.S coinage by the face value amount or even by weight.&nbsp; For example, you can buy $100 face value in mixed pre-1964 US silver dimes, quarters, and halves.&nbsp; If you plan to be able to use this stash of silver in trade, this might be the best way to go.&nbsp; In round figures, $100 face would be around $900.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you surf over to <a href="http://www.apmex.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com" rel="nofollow">www.apmex.com</a>, and click on silver bullion, you&#039;ll find about the best selection and prices around.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of note to board, I was buying near the close - added to both my holding of the Central Fund of Canada CEF and the silver ETF SLV.&nbsp; Monday, should prices remain this low or lower, I&#039;ll be on the phone to buy some more eagles.&nbsp; I already bought my annual roll at $285, but need to buy some mid-90&#039;s to complete the grandkids ASE albumns.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
