<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 1885412, member: 6492&quot;]Hi Fall Guy,</p><p><br /></p><p>Good decision and even better that you&#039;re doing your homework.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buy what you like at the best price.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a list from my local shop showing their premiums.&nbsp; Note that a 1/10 has a premium of 14% vs. 12 for a 1/4 and 5 for a 1. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.libertycoinservice.com/images/stories/offersandquotes/daily_quotes.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.libertycoinservice.com/images/stories/offersandquotes/daily_quotes.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.libertycoinservice.com/images/stories/offersandquotes/daily_quotes.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re mostly buying it as a bullion speculation, I&#039;d go with MS but raw.&nbsp; &nbsp; For biz strikes, this is most common from your larger dealers.&nbsp;&nbsp; You buy a tube of eagles and they&#039;re BU.&nbsp; feh.&nbsp; If you want MS-65 buy a slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you want to collect or at least stash it away as more of an investment, then consider proof issues. They&#039;re prettier.&nbsp; Or slabs but not of modern stuff.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just watch the premiums.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can pay an enormous markup for an MS-70 coin that is not only hard to recover, but the extra cost gives you less leverage over the long term.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to buy my bullion as a collector might.&nbsp; For example, I like silver crowns - both modern and older.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a set of Eagles, but also of Maple Leafs and am working on Libertads, Brits, Pandas and the Aussie stuff.&nbsp;&nbsp; With the older crowns, I&#039;ve been working on the different countries that had them.&nbsp; You can do the same in gold.&nbsp; The modern stuff - AGEs, Leaf, Pandas, and the older - Sovereigns, Francs, Ducats. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun and good luck,</p><p><br /></p><p>peace,</p><p><br /></p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
