<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 17938, member: 112&quot;]You would have to define what you mean by &quot;good silver&quot;. Even heavily worn silver coins sell for the value of the silver - which is not cheap. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are more sources to buy coins than you can shake a stick at. And we would be happy to recommend some of these sources. But first you have to decide what it is you wish to collect and what you can afford to spend.</p><p><br /></p><p>You mention $25 - $30 - now for common date, modern US silver coins - those struck prior to 1965 - you can purchase many coins for that amount. But don&#039;t expect them to be in very good condition. US silver coins, even in the worst condition, are worth approx 4 - 5 times face value just for their silver content. So $25 would buy you about 20 silver quarters with the majority of them badly worn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now as a general rule, world coinage is less expensive than US coinage. But silver is silver - no matter where it comes from. But if you have an interest in world coinage you can begin a nice collection on a smaller budget. Just don&#039;t expect the coins to be all silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
