Thanks guys for the congratulatory remarks and the excitement on my behalf. Glad to hear I made a good choice with Johnson Matthey. What little research I did seemed to imply that as well. Something about that brand just vibed with me. I have a tendency to prefer high quality, "work horse"-esque over shiny, brand new high quality. I think this started with audio equipment and has now pervaded other facets of my life. As beautiful as a lot of these newer bars/coins posted in here are, I actually prefer some of the older, more plain looking bars in terms of aesthetics. Of course I didn't choose it just based on how it looks, but regardless, once it shows up maybe I'll have to post a picture of my beauty so you can all check it out.
Also, is there anything I should make sure to check out when I get it? If it is one with a serial number I intend to look it up and just make sure that it is not registered as stolen somehow or something. I've heard of people x-raying their bars as well. I thought about potentially taking it to a local siler/gold dealer and have them look at it. I don't know if they usually charge for these services or not. If so, I could potentially take it in under the guise of thinking about selling it and have them look it over and then just need some time to think over the offer....

Don't take it to a gold/silver place! Those people are usually pretty sheisty especially if they are in the ghetto. I knew a lot that would take obviously stolen jewelry! As long as you ordered it from a legit dealer it should be fine. Reputable dealers would be committing grand theft if they gave you a bunk bar.

Johnson Matthey is a world renowned company that specializes in metals. Not just the usual precious metals but outlandish stuff like Niobium, Tellurium, Indium, Tungsten, they primarily deliver "rare metals" to Labs and Industry, they're not a bullion company, though they do of course have a bullion division. That's why their ingots (bars) are no nonsense, they are expected to be chucked into the crucible on arrival to be smelted and used as a raw material, rather than investment.

make sure you do RESEARCH before u invest into ANYTHING
hopefully I can turn a small profit by the end of 14 but if not atleast I picked up a nice hobby..

Everyone? I suspect you were only listening to a few people. Only the fear mongers spread such ridiculous ideas.
I guess that silver will be under $25 for the next five to ten years.

Of course not, its stacked against me by default. Why would I bet against a commodity with that commodity? I have lots to lose and little to gain.
I make my bet by not buying much silver.

For Silver I highly reccomend Monarch precious metals. Their products are carried by many of the coin stores in my area. They specialize in hand poured bars however their 1oz silver buck coin is always sold for just $1 over spot!

I just picked up a 10oz bar from apmex for 233 after all shipping, fees, blah blah .
I think I'm going to try to buy a 10oz bar per month as a sort of savings plan. Maybe bigger bars if I can afford it here and there. The bigger bars will make it harder for me to justify selling some off when im broke and want some fancy toy I dont really need.

Yep. My dad always told me to "save my raises", so I'm going to keep living off of my old salary and save 100% of this.

Congrats and good luck on that! I've never managed to not grow my cost of living as my raises go up sooner or later.

Why is there a difference in price of various silver coins/bars between manufacturers?
aren't they all just .999 silver? is it that some are more widely accepted? is it simply branding? you'd think someone wise enough to hold physical silver would be above placing value on brands -
so is there more to it?

Some people collect bars and bullion as collecters items, so brands that don't produce as many are priced higher for obvious reasons. Also, there is the production side of it. If a brand produces less it costs them more to make the product, hence a higher retail.
