What should I do?...This is what I did!

Postby OtusLotus » Tue Oct 18, 2011 10:34 pm

I have decided to take delivery and redeem the silver I have amassed from my silver saver account.

What should I do...?

A) 26 ozs in the form of 17 ASE and 9 Canadian Maples or
B) 27 ozs. in a combination of 10 oz bars, 1 oz Buffalo Rounds, ASE & Maples

Obviously, B has more silver.

Is the premium that I will be paying for the mint silver worth the extra premium ( $32 / 26 = $1.23).

Or is just the name of the game amassing as much silver as I can?

*********************************************************************************
I decided to get 20 ASEs, 5 Canadian Maples, 1 Generic Silver Round...
Very happy with the quality of each coin...and the packaging..

I think most of the regulars around here will stick with the more silver the better mantra.
Soooo... Is it just me or is a chart of US debt looking dangerously parabolic?

I would say more silver the merrier but SAE have fared well during prices going up and down.

Current premiums for SAE are $2-4 each over depending on the dealer and quantity.

Getting the 27 oz lost with the most SAE as possblie might me a solid plan, but 26 eagles sounds good too.

If I had that choice, I'd look at what I already had and choose whichever rounded it out better.

With nothing on hand? Probably the higher amount of silver as I'm looking long haul.

Accounting for premiums, unless the 10oz bars are one of the well desired brands, I'd easily go for A. that one lost ounce would easily be made up by the ASE premiums alone.

The 10 oz bars are from Academy and NTR.

My current stash includes ASE, 1- 10 oz Engelhard, several 1 oz art bars, and coins.

Then option A is the easy winner IMO. I know Academy is ok and all, but Engelhard or JM they are not.

I like the ASEs though their premium is hefty compared to the generic bullion. This is the first I've heard of Silver Saver. Just checked out their website. Opinions from you with much more experience? OtusLotus: If I decide to open an account, I'll PM you and give you credit for the referral bonus if you want.

OtusLotus, how much do you have in your account so that you can get the 26 ASEs? If you don't mind me asking, just trying to figure out their premiums.
