<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 1126691, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Go to your local book store and buy a copy of Coin World or Numismatic News (weekly newspapers) and check the ads.&nbsp; Go 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 check the various sections of silver and prices.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Silver bullion comes in coins and ingots.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are older coins that were made out of silver but many governments around the world mint silver coins these days and sell them to the public.&nbsp; Most are 1 ounce in size.&nbsp; The U.S. has our Eagles, Canada their Maple Leafs, China their Pandas, Mexico their Libertads, etc.&nbsp; There are also ingots that come in round or rectangular shapes starting with 1 oz, and having 10 oz., 50 oz., 100 oz., up to a kilo.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Each form of silver will cost you the spot price of silver (market price of bullion) PLUS a premium over the spot price.&nbsp; &nbsp; This premium will vary for many reasons but you generally want to minimize it.&nbsp; Shop around and buy in bulk to get any volume discounts.&nbsp; Try to buy silver with smaller premiums but remember that plain vanilla is cheaper than top shelf but top shelf is generally better.&nbsp; For example, a Silver Eagle has a higher premium (12%) than a Maple Leaf (8%) at my local coin dealer as I write.&nbsp; However, some will say that a Silver Eagle would be easier to sell than a Canadian Maple Leaf and therefore has a higher demand.&nbsp; Same goes for silver ingots.&nbsp; You can get some plain vanilla art bar from BillyBob&#039;s Mint of BF Nowhere for less than a stamped ingot from Englehard.&nbsp; However, who is going to buy the former AND will they pay you as much as they will for the latter? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>just some thoughts,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
