How do you collect your silver? Curious as to how collectors keep their silver... I'd LOVE to hear some comments on graded silver (or gold)... pros and cons. I'm TOTALLY not into graded coins... but I'd love to hear some comments on this!

All about ASEs, here. I do hang on to a bit of 90% if it really catches my eye, but for the most part, everything I get, I try to flip for ASEs

Although I believe the ASE is the most beautiful coin ever minted, about 75% of my stash is 90% coins. I just think that coins like the 90% dimes and quarters will be more practical during the times ahead.

Decent 90% preferred.

And you left out bars as a choice. 8-)
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
