well the generic ones i thought were cool. there was a Da Vinci coin, a peace embossed one, and a heart shaped one. They all say .999 pure silver.

Those rounds are swiss of america, and the larger rounds are US minted silver.

Good show, 12 troz (373gr) at less than 4% (60 cents) over spot, you're in silver :thumbup:
Every dollar silver goes up means 12 bucks for you.

Now lets hope Zorbman is right and you get to collect $1.200 in 2012!

Lookie  this auction on ebay just now sold bars & rounds for an ounce price of $16.61 (including shipping) - once more, good buy :smile:


Geo, I'm downloading that book as we speak, thanks for the good advice!

Problem is, is your coin shop able to supply your steady demand, especially when more and more people are catching on to silver?

Do keep a list of how many ounces you bought when for what. That way you can calculate the average price that goes for all your ounces.

As for the krugs, with the frequent purchase size you're considering ($200-ish) you're about at the price you'd pay for an 1/4oz krugerrand or 1/4oz maple when gold cools off a bit. (don't buy smaller gold than 1/4 oz) Look into the markets and decide whether it's the time of the month to buy silver or gold :grin:

The fun thing is that you bought stuff and you preserved your wealth at the same time. The wealth hasn't gone, it merely changed form. I'm using "wealth" because money is just one form of it: wealth can also be measured by the ounce. There's 20.000 or so days left to your life. If you have an ounce of gold for every day, you're rich regardless of what happens to the dollar.

My idea of being rich is having a big stack of silver and gold at the bank, and converting some of it regularly at the going rate to get the money you need.

Welcome on board :smile:

Absolutely. 15 dollars in your hand is just meh, but a shiny silver Maple is a nice thing to hold, especially on trips :grin:

I have a silver maple at home just for admiration purposes :lol:

Be vewy vewy careful.
Warren Buffet is holding 130,000,000 oz. of silver.
25 or so years ago 2 brothers named Hunt did the same thing.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!


I bet the few silver bugs here will appreciate this silver round particularly :lol:



The silver round was designed and ordered by some members of the Gold Is Money forum, and unfortunately all sold out. I would have paid $20 for one right away, and I'm not even an American :lol:

Why choose the maple leaf over the American Eagle? Is there a huge difference? How does one go about selling the silver when the time is right? Online? A coin shop?

I have $30K just sitting in my bank account and I'm looking for a great investment but am kind of scared of losing even just a little bit of this hard earned money.

I was thinking about buying a kilo bar of gold and spending the rest on silver. I don't know. I'm doing research but I'm hearing all kinds of conflicting arguments about silver and gold. If I could only see into the future.

I'm also curious about platinum and palladium. Any ideas?

Do your own due diligence. There's no investment in the world that doesn't carry a level of risk, and precious metals are no different. You can double your wealth, or halve it if you are forced to sell at an unfortunate time. Eventually gold and silver will go up, no question about that, because currencies go down invariably. Question is when?

People into gold and silver (hold and sell goldbugs) are investing for time frames typically 5-15 years long. You got to be willing to ride it out, and have a steady hand. Panic selling (be if for damage control or a quick profit) usually brings misfortune.

Quote:

As for silver: Silver Maples will typically cost you 50 cents less a piece than American Eagles. Thats a huge difference, and double so if you realize that silver maples are 9999 silver and SAE's only 999 silver. Gold, same story to a lesser extent. GAE's are 999 gold (23 carat) and GSM's are 9999 gold, 24 carat.

Quote:

Sources for gold and silver often buy it back. Some have shitty rates, others have very good rates. Look into this for your personal situation.

Quote:

It's best to buy bullion coins, because these are most liquid, and you can easily do a fractional sell. A gold kilo bar is one item, 32 bullion coins are the same weight and far more convenient to handle.

Quote:

I'm doing research but I'm hearing all kinds of conflicting arguments about silver and gold.




If there was certainty all would be in metals, or none would be. It's an investment, so it's an educated gamble at most.

Quote:

Palladium might take off at any time, or it might take a long long time. There's more supply than demand for it and most of the time it's fairly uneventful. A good recent development about palladium is that jewelry is more and more making use of it, increasing the market. What  Palladium needs is for someone to get cold fusion to work :awesome: but.. yeah.. the odds are against it.

Platinum already had quite some growth. It could take off even further, but with platinum I have the hunch that it's heading for a considerable fall before it will rise again. I don't plan on going into platinum unless it makes that fall.

In any case: do your own research and make your own decisions.

Oil always goes up this time of year as I can tell.  In the spring/summer it goes to 70 a barrel.  It's one of those short term commodities I guess




:lol:

Oil was at about $55 in this spring...after coming up a bit from a low near $50. It does dip somewhat in the spring months (after the winter heating season, before the summer driving season) but for the past 5 years it has risen each time (meaning it doesn't dip as much). If this were a normal year...we should be dropping in price. We aren't.


(the red line is gas prices where I live)

5 years ago oil was only at $22/barrel. 5 years from now I expect oil to be much higher.




Well its been 3 years.
how does it look now? compare see how much you were off?

We have seen some of what the price of oil can do in a good market - back in 2008 it hit a record high of something over $145/bbl. Right now we have a weak economy and the price is still around $90/bbl. It's on an upward trend, and has been so for the past 2 years.

I think if we hadn't of had the economic crash when we did, we would see oil well in excess of $145. Of course, that price itself was one of (if not the) factor that caused this recession...so it's unlikely that, in reality, we would have gotten much higher than we did.

Ask me again in two years :wink:

How does one sell silver?
Can you recommend a good silver dealer in the UK?  I heard there are a lot of fakes going around.

Also I currently get 3.5% tax free interest with my bank.  Would silver likely appreciate more than this?
