[QUOTE="Smitty, post: 1336983, member: 35044"]Depends on the quantity. In $100 face and above, it's 90% "junk" silver. Along with 100 oz. bars, it has the lowest premium (if you do your shopping) ... about a buck an ounce. And it's not worth counterfeiting, so no risk of that. It's also real US money in common denominations, so no one will question it. And survivalists and people who think the fiat system will collapse like it, so you have an extended market that makes it easy to sell if TEOTWAWKI does happen. And occasionally you'll find numismatic-quality coins in the stash. The one thing you have to be careful of when buying 90% junk is that some sellers on eBay sell it by the pound. This confuses people because they don't know if it's a standard pound or a troy pound. Either way, all the "by the pound" sellers I've checked out have been overpriced.[/QUOTE]
