Where is the best place to buy silver coins?
I need to own physical silver in case of emergency, but don't want to get ripped off. I think everyone needs this information and now is the time.

Buy pre 1964 quarters, dimes, dollars. Should be able to get them at a locally owned jewlery store or definitely a pawn shop. Usually they have a set price. I buy the $500.00 bag that is an assortment of the above. here I buy it breaks out to about 17.50 an ounce regardless of the daily spot price.

Go to your local coin shops. Check the current spot value of silver that day before you go. You will pay a premium over spot, usually 10-20%. You can also buy rounds which are 1 ounce silver coins minted by private mints, they are not sovereign mint issue. They have less of a premium and run closer to spot. Also check out Kitco's precious metals site before you go to see what they are selling silver for:

Why?

You are better off buying food, ammo, weapons, TRADEABLE goods. PM's are not going to save you, due to CoG and other contingencies, in fact they will you do you more harm...

However, if you must, Northwest Mint has good prices and is pure...

i would say Ebay..people will claim otherwise because of the fees, but there is alot of reasonable rates..

plus they have hard to find 'art bars' which u cant find in most stores.

A year ago, this site had a lot of coins for sale in bulk. Like monster boxes of US Silver Eagles (500 coins). Now they don't have much meaning supply is dwindling, but you can check past sales and average out what coins are going for in large lots:

If you fid a local shop that you buy somewhat regularly you will get a better price. On my last $500.00 "bag", I checked it against the spot. I got the following:

six dollars- 40.14 total
76 quarters- 253.84 total
82 dimes- 243.88 total

This was a purchase of $500. The spot price that day was 18.50 and I ended up with $537.86 at market price.

Sorry that was 182 dimes!!

The reasoning behind this is being able to purchase in smaller amounts if you need to. At 18.50 an ounce a dime is worth %1.34, a quarter is $3.34 and a dollar is $6.69.

Re: Where is the best place to buy silver coins?
Firstly, when buying precious metals there is alot of money involved, so it is very important to buy and sell with a reputable dealer! So forget eBay straight away. Secondly, online dealers are obviously going to be cheaper than the brick'n'mortar dealers, so I personally recommend www.groveshark.com this is a website that finds you the lowest prices offered by the most reputable online dealers.
It's also a great source of reference. I found a company called Texas Precious Metals from it when buying some Canadian Silver Maple Coins and they were cheapest by far!

I've bought a lot of them, several hundred, and quite a few 100 oz. bars from [link to www.golddealer.com]

That's actually the URL for California Numismatic Institute. Shipping is free and so is insurance. At least it was the last I checked. They give you a buy/sell price like $1.50/2.50 over spot. There are no extra fees or commissions. I've never had a problem with them buying them or selling them back.

I have a guy from florida that ships them to me directly, bars or coins. I personally prefer the bars. He only charges 1.5 dollars over spot and ships same day....

I wouldn't waste my time on coins. If you really have money to invest put it in 2.2lb(1kg)(troy) Ingot's.
Buy them from an old miner or from a reputable assayer.

research it on www.49ermike.com lots of good info there.
This crap gets any deeper I'll need my waders.
