Thread: what do you think of junk silver?

  1. #1

    Default what do you think of junk silver?

    I'm going on my own "silver standard" as a hedge against inflation (and because I consider it real money). Junk silver is the most affordable way for me to do it right now. Would you suggest this as a good route or perhaps some other sort of silver? (I'm sticking with silver because gold is too pricey for us poor folk. It's the poor man's gold, ya know )

    Junk silver is easily recognizable, easy to weight proof, and hard to counterfeit. I like it better than any other form. IMO, of course.

    I've always been weary of it because it seems like the coins are worn down from years of circulation. I'd rather pay slightly more for uncirculated bullion.

    It is very smart because in the event of a currency collapse going to market with Kruggerands will get you followed home.

    Buy as much as you can on dips when prices go down.

    Thanks! I got a small bag of really nice coins for cheap on Amazon. I'm impressed with the quality and plan on stocking up. They have .999 1 oz silver coins as well, of which I'm going to snag a few. Amazon has great prices on coins IMO, regardless of the metal you want. The copper selection isn't great, but there's loads of gold and silver for good prices.

    I think it's a good way to buy silver, especially in relatively small quantities. If you're patient you can get it for below spot on eBay sometimes.
    I’m not a libertarian. I’m not advocating everyone run around with no clothes on and smoke pot.

    Junk silver is a great investment. Don't forget public auctions as a source to get some at amazing prices. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...public+auction

    designed to make of their victory,
    there would have been no surrender at
    Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me.
    Had I foreseen these results of subjugation,
    I would have preferred to die at Appomattox
    with my brave men, my sword in my right hand." - Robert E. Lee to Governor Fletcher S. Stockdale (D-Texas), 1870
