RE:Any other physical silver fans out there?I started buying in 2003 at ridiculously low prices. Just one piece of advice... don't tell anyone, even your friends that you are buying physical gold and/or silver
Personally I think that Canadian maples and American eagles coins are best, specially now that they have the sealed " mint first" tubes.
bars are good if you are buying thousands of ounces, kilos ans 100 ounce are my favourite, Scottsdale mint has nice 10 ounces, kilos and 100 ounces stackers and is a reputable company. I love Kitco in Montreal too. NEVER buy online from eBay or similar sites, counterfeit coins and bars are a pest. Get old of a HUGE heavy safe (600lbs or more) and bolt it in concrete or bury your coins in ABS pipes in the ground. And then, try to keep your metal forever, it is the best hedge against inflation, specially hyperinflation.
enjoy!
