Another Silver Thread

I have a decent little stash right now. I will jump in again if it gets under $20

been just over 20 for a while. Under 20 and I am back in

I would guess most posters don't buy actual silver, but instead buy something like SLV, which is a silver trust. It matches the price of silver for the most part.

frick that. I buy silver. I bought at $22 but it was only 5 ounces. I am kind of picking it up here and there.

Anyone ever buy junk silver coins? or just the rounds, bars, etc.

I have some "junk" coins but rather buy 999 silver. But if the price is right....

my wedding ring I made from "junk silver"

I like the 90% but prefer the 999. To me, later in time when I sell, I feel I can sell 999 easier. Probably not realy that much easier if at all easier to sell but I feel I can sell it at what silver is worth based on the weight I have. No calculating 90% of silver form the weight of lets say a quarter, dime, half dollar, etc. One ounce is what one ounce is going for. Easy calculation on my end and the buyers end. Seems kind of picky but that is only my preference, not written in stone. If I can get a good deal on 90% quarters, halves or what not then I would enjoy picking them up.

I won't say how much I have, but I have tons of pre-1964 Quarters and Dimes and a good bit of Silver dollars, a majority of them being 1921s.

I plan on unloading a ton once silver gets back up above the $30 mark.

Umm, yeah, I guess that's what you would call it. Only for halves though. Whenever I am going to take money and put it into Savings, I get halves first then take them and deposit them.

My best find to date, a 1951 Franklin Half Dollar.

When I go through rolls, I can spot a silver one just by touch now it seems like. Definitely a different feel to them.

ETA: Halves have became scarce around here. I work in a downtown area with a lot of banks and will go bank to bank. One closed the downtown branch that used to always have them so they are harder for me to find now.

Banks will order them for you but I know they have at least a minimum of $500. Apparently there were a few of us looking so they went ahead and ordered a box.

I have never, EVER, found a pre-1964 quarter, dime, etc., and I save all change and eventually take it to the bank. So I cannot speculate on the best way to find them.
