Favorite/unique silver options

69mach351 · 06-15-2012, 09:50 AM

I was wondering what pieces of silver people like and why. I am curious what are the staples and other fun/different things out there. Diversity is the spice of life as they say. I know the ASE, silver maple, austrian philharmonic, and silver buffalo rounds are popular choices. I am open to looking at bars, rounds, coins, etc. in various sizes. The panda seems neat, but everyone seems pretty proud ($$$) for a 1oz piece.

I too like diversity mach. Have many different coins and bars. Just this morning I ordered a tube of these. My first Aussie coins.

I like the design of the silver Britannias... and I'm a fan of Morgan Dollars, too.

I tend to buy bars and ASEs, but it's fun to get something different on occasion. I got a Somalian silver elephant a while ago because I didn't have one, and ADK mentioned silver Britannias, which I did not have, so I had to order one of those last night along with my standard bi-weekly items.

It's all good, in my opinion!

Is anyone a fan of hand-poured bars?

ADK · 06-16-2012, 08:17 AM

I primarily buy bars, too... I have an Academy hand poured and I would like to get one of the Silvertowne hand poured. They look "classic" - like they enjoy hanging out with the Morgans in my collection

Nice buy on the Britannia... I really like that design, but the premium stinks. I have a few.

Just bought the Star Spangled Banner Commemorative from the US Mint a few minutes ago... I wanted to pick one of those up for a while. The design just appeals to me.

I have this Coin World magazine laying on the floor near my computer and that coin is on the front. It kept reminding me that I should take the ten minutes and pick one up from the mint. Done.

I have a few, but not many. I like sovereign silver and junk....straight up.

Received my silver maples yesterday. =)

For for coins/rounds, I think maples, buffalos and Morgans look nice. Other than those, not a fan of rounds in general, especially those with zodiac, celebratory designs.

For bars, I like the simple look Credit Suisse. But the premium is high, so amongst the low-premium bars, the Sunshine Mint bars look best IMO, but wish they had serial numbers like the Johnson Matthey bars.

Got my first Mexican Silver Libertad yesterday.
It's got boobs on it!
(Might be my new favorite.)
