<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aandabooks, post: 1348428, member: 35627&quot;]I&#039;m really new to this coin collecting but have been reading this thread and think I am in the right ballpark.&nbsp; What I want to do with buying silver is what I think th OP is trying to do.&nbsp; I&#039;m looking to put a bit of cash into something that has actual worth.&nbsp; With that said, here is what I have been buying.</p><p><br /></p><p>I go to a local Pawn/Coin Shop.&nbsp; Guy that owns the place seems real knowledgeable on coins.&nbsp; I have been buying out of his 90% junk bowl.&nbsp; When I go in I ask what the price is today and he looks at coinflation.com and quotes the rounded off melt price that day.&nbsp; I bought some at $23x face a couple days ago.&nbsp; I always pick out the Morgan/Peace dollars first since they have the highest content of silver.&nbsp; He made me a deal on some uncirculated Roosevelts at $2 each when melt was $2.14.&nbsp; I bought 10 of those.&nbsp; I&#039;ve picked up a few ASE coins at $1 over the going price of silver that day.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other guy that I have dealt with recently is in a gunshop that I frequent.&nbsp; He sold me 20 40% halves the other day for $4 each when the melt on them was $4.40.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Am I getting a fair deal on the coins at these prices?&nbsp; I don&#039;t have much of an interest in truly collecting.&nbsp; My interest currently lies in the accumulation of actual silver.&nbsp; With that being said, the coin shop guy is putting out an 8oz ASE on Monday and I might have to see what he wants for it.&nbsp; It was in proof condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
