This is spam.

Someone who wants to buy silver should buy generic bullion, rounds or bars. You should only pay a slight premium over the spot price of silver.

How is that spam? You can buy what you want. I buy both.

In the last ten years there have been more patents issued using Silver than all other metals combined. Silver is the most valuable metal on earth, besides being a superconductor (check out American Superconductor's powerline that carries 130 time the electrical current by weight as copper, uses 1000oz Silver per mile) it is the only metal that kills bacteria and viruses on contact. Nano-technology has opened the door for products such as nano-silver paint for hospitals and schools that no bacteria can grow on, to a nano-silver spray that kills Black Mold in houses. There are literally hundreds of research projects using nano-silver taking new products to patent.
Ask 100 people which metal kills bacteria and viruses and you will get blank stares.
40 years ago Silver was declared not to be money, (after 5000 years) that left 8 billion oz of above ground silver with no home. We have had 14 years of supply deficit due to depressed prices and industry has used up the above ground stock. Couple this with all the new uses and you have a situation that will make some people very rich. Do some research and be one of them."

90% silver dimes like those above carry the smallest premium above spot out of the things you mentioned.

where i get them, they're at spot and I get to go through and pick out whatever ones I want. Today, I went through and got a bunch of pristine condition '64 Quarters. :D

The stuff he showed you can buy at melt price being that it is "Junk Silver".

[propanes]

Yes, the old US pre-65 coins are the most economical way to buy silver where 90% metal content is undisputed.

Spam?

From a Senior member who has almost 200 posts?

That was uncalled for...

And he is SPOT ON with his post to boot.

There's good advice in this article imo.

Anyway, I'm new to gold and silver investing, but I am very interested in it. I've read the other thread on it (from last week or whenever), and I can't wait to learn more--and then to actually start investing!

One thing I haven't seen, though, is a website that breaks down the topic for beginners, that goes through the pros and cons of the various options for precious metals investments, gives tips about what to get and how/where to get it, etc. I've looked at sites like www.apmex.com but they're more for people who already know what they're looking for.
I'm reading the "silver as an investment" article on wikipedia, but I'd like to find something even more straightforward (I have a lot of studying to do for tests this week, so I don't have a lot of time to do in-depth research).
I'll do some more looking on my own, but if anyone knows a good resource please don't hesitate to share.

Here's a good site for finding coin melt values. It's been posted in another thread, but I haven't seen it in this one.

Here's what seems like a good link on buying silver and gold for survival purposes:
http://www.certifiedmint.com/y2k-1.htm
excerpt:
The best forms of silver for survival purposes are pre-1965 U.S. 90% coins and 1-oz silver rounds. The most useful forms of gold would be 1/10-oz Gold Eagles and ¼-oz Gold Eagles. But, before going forward, it is imperative that we discuss which coins to avoid. That is because hundreds of web pages promote numismatic and collector coins, as well as foreign coins. Such coins are simply wrong for survival purposes.
hope that helps - some of the forums on the net are extremely helpful. and interesting to note: when I search for "buying junk 90% silver" on Google, this topic comes up fourth in the search. Very nice.

[Eroberer]

I found a place where I can get 90% silver at slightly below spot and another place that sells all of their gold and silver at spot, no premiums (even for eagles).

If you want to support Ron Paul financially send your money DIRECTLY to his campaign here: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/?c=1787

If you want to purchase silver at a reasonable price (about 1/2 or what it costs to get a "Ron Paul Liberty dollar"), get it here: http://www.nwtmintbullion.com/silver_nwtmintbullion.php

[propanes]

http://www.silveranalysis.com/

There's useful info at the site.

[G-khan]

Yes junk silver as it is called is one of the best ways to buy your silver at good prices. Other than that buy bullion coins or bars.

When Ron Paul wins the primaries Gold and Silver could take off big time. Wall street knows what Ron Paul's position is on Gold and Silver. A Ron Paul president would be very bullish IMO

Er, silver is not superconductive unless it is cooled down to liquid helium temperature. At that temperature all metals superconduct. And I'll bet that bacteria die on contact with pure plutonium. :D

I take Colloidal Silver when sick.....some peopel take IV's of it to kill hard to cure chronic infections like Lyme disease

[SWATH]

I'm thinking about buying 100oz of silver and 2oz of gold. So which would be better to buy?

10x10oz silver
http://www.apmex.com/Product/21/10_oz_999_Fine_Silver_Bars.aspx

or

1x100oz silver

[purepaloma]

I'd rather have smaller denominations. Unless you plan on having 500+ plus ounces right off the bat, I wouldn't get a 100 ounce bar.

[Dustancostine]

Yea If you need to sell some but not all you can do it with 10X10 but it would be more difficult with 1x100. Plus it with 1x100 you have to hide it all in the same place (all your eggs in one basket?), while with 10x10 you can find 10 different hiding places. :)

How much over spot is considered a good deal on gold/silver?

Use APMEX they are the best - here you can read up on how they are rated..

I would buy 1 oz generic bullion rounds..

[SWATH]

I would buy 1 oz generic bullion rounds..

Even though the smaller the weight the higher the premium. I'm looking for the optimum weight size for 100oz.

I could buy

100x1oz

or

10x10oz

I kind of ruled out the 100oz bar, even though it is cheaper per ounce, the reason given above by the posters here has disuaded me. I just got an interest in metals in the last few weeks, so I don't know much yet but I could also just buy 2 or 3 ounces of gold, I'm not sure which is better gold or silver.

I didn't see the rounds before but they look good too. Is there any reason to get the rounds over the bars, and if so is there a reason to get the new proof APMEX over the generic coins?

I think Silver has better fundamentals than Gold does. It is both an industrial metal and an investment metal. Gold is hoarded and the entire amount above ground continues to rise and Silver is consumed by industry and the above ground supply shrinking. So fundamentaly I think Silver is stronger.

Also I believe it will be a lot easier for Silver to double in value than Gold to do so. Silver at 27 an oz is a lot easier to reach than Gold at 1480 IMO and if Gold were at 1480 I think Silver would be North of 50 oz.

If you would rather have them in 10 oz bars go for it. I like the 1 oz size ..

Also if you want more info on the metals you may want to read the stuff on our site gildismoney.info - you can only register there the first three days of each month - it is free..

Ron Paul and getting him elected is more precious to me than any of my Gold and Silver..

Just a warning for all, if somehow they get the dollar strong again and the stock market takes off the value of Gold and Silver will most likely fall. Your investments are your own risk and do what you think is right - I or anyone else may be wrong in the direction the markets may go - shit happens.

I would buy $140 face of 90% in half-dollar at $0.50 or more under spot, put in 14 hermetic square tubes, very easy to stack. But your idea is just as well, only a matter of preferences.

[fsk]

I would focus on getting the cheapest price per ounce of metal.

In a SHTF scenario, you probably would be able to trade your 100 oz bar for "change".

That link is a metal detecting forum. people are pulling gold sovereigns and plenty of silver out of the ground. it's really fascinating to read through this forum - because when I was a child I had a metal detector, and used to find old horseshoes, but gold? Gold?!
