buying silver

[Brandon]

I highly recommend Lost Dutchman Coins in Lawrence. They have been very patient with me when I come in and ask a ton of questions I can't find answers to online.

They will sell you junk silver under melt for INGO members and they have Silver Eagles and prevately minted bars/rounds most of the time.

+100
They run a great little shop and the staff are all very helpful and awesome to work with.
Plus they are an INGO site supporter.

Is there a reason someone would want to have silver coins instead of the bars?

Yes !

If you are only wanting a loaf of bread, how you going to pay if you only have (1) oz silver rounds ? That's one way 90% coins have an advantage. You can have dimes, quarters, and halves...

Note, the coins I'm talking about here what many call " junk " silver or " common date ", not the coins that carry a numismatic premium such as the older dollars or any " key" date or mint marked coins. Basically, the coins with some wear, no special date or mint marks...

If your looking for silver more for a short term investment, I always throw it on my dealer by simply asking what he'll give me the best buy on... One day you might get the better buy on some bars he just took in for " spot" and another day he might be able to give you a better deal on the " melt " price of 90% coinage...

My only thought there, is that you should take into account sales tax when comparing prices from other online silver sellers. I am not positive that they will have to charge you tax, but I am pretty sure since they are in Indiana.

They were "ok" when I went it and the guy I dealt with seemed far more interested in watching the IU game then helping me buy the silver I wanted

 

[Badmac 183]

also for whats its worth am i better off buying gold im in the $500-1000 price range at the moment.

I've only made purchases via credit card. I say your best bet for these type of questions is to become a forum member here:
Gold is Money - The Premier Gold and Silver Forum -- Goldismoney

They even have a section where you can ask members their opinions of various coin dealers.
PM Dealer Feedback

You can read through the forums without being a member. I go by ocsdor there too.

tulving.com has the best prices per ounce but you must purchase larger quantities. Unparalleled service.

I'm new to buying silver but the cheapest I have been able to find on junk silver is $1.50 over spot. Is it common to find places that will sell under spot?

As for your second question, I cannot give you financial advise. For myself, I have been buying American Silver Eagles and Canadian Silver Maples for over a year now. Since I believe the dollar is going to crash in the near future, I believe now is a good time to buy silver for me.

I'm around the Lafayette area myself and was just curious, do you buy locally anywhere and if so where have you found the best place to buy from? Thanks

Fairly close would be hendricks County estate buyers in brownsburg. they sell junk , rounds, and ASE. ask for Justin. he will give you a good price

I've only bought from APMEX and Provident so far.

Here is a local coin shop:
Smith's Coins - Index Page

If I were to buy local, this would be the first place I would check out.

 

[4GvnSnr]

Thanks guys, I'll check them out.

Silvertowne in Winchester, IN is a family business that has been there forever. If you are through that part just stop in. Have sold them gold and have bought coins there.

I have bought from APMEX and did so without any issues.

I don't like to leave paper trails when I buy silver.

I don't like to leave paper trails when I buy silver.

Then unless you buy local via cash it's going to be hard NOT to leave a paper trail.

So any good places in NWI (LAKE, PORTER counties)?
