Titled this "amassing" rather than collecting for a couple of reasons. I'm an old duffer and have never owned any silver...no interest in gold...just always thought it would be nice to have a couple of bags of silver coins in the gun safe in case paper money did anything funny "short term"..I'm not a prepper...not a collector...just a "bucket list" kind of thing I guess...and it won't change my life style one bit if it goes up or down.
Been doing alittle looking and it seems bags of "junk" silver coins are about as decent as any form of bullion short of bars which would not be spendble in an emergency...Just wondering if most of the on line dealers are about the same and are the e bay dealers ok or a bunch of con men?
I can find the melt and spot values and do the calculations to get the actual costs..but interested in any other things to keep in mind..
I'm sure there are other ways to accumulate silver or gold but again..this is more of a bucket list thing than any thing else...I been around too long and through too many battles to be sweet talked into some "deal"...just interested in real, trusted dealers..many thanks'
