$3 premium on ASE's is better than $2 premium on generic

Quarters are the hardest 90% to move. Dimes are easier but weight can be a factor.

Halves are easy to sell

40% usually sells for under melt.

I like the eagles/maples/phils/libs. If the 90% was BU I'd go for the dimes.

I agree with Slick. We like most forms of silver.. it really comes down to what the premium is and what our expectation of recouping the premium on the back end is. :mrgreen:

I would have picked generic if it were $230, but for only $1/oz difference between generic and govt Eagles I'll pick Eagles.

Not crazy about any of them. I'd rather buy something more interesting than a generic Eagle, but that was the best of the choices listed.

I should have looked closer at the spread. But not taking it into consideration, I voted the 10 oz generic. Why? Cuz I ain't got enough and want to even out the spectrum of collected.

It's a jungle out there,
