    2. Maple
    3. Philharmonic
    4. Libertad
    5.
    6.
    7.
    8. Everything else

    As in premiums over spot you encounter

    I love the Brits but the premiums I encounter prevent me owning but a few of them - same with Pandas. I have had good luck finding Maples at or slightly above spot.

    ASE's & Maples still give the the best price for your bucks. The rest of the world is overpriced.

    Libertads can also be had reasonably.

    same with Pandas.

    They were initially promoted as China's Silver bullion coin. But, because of their relative lower mintages and changing design,
    which helped produce strong demand, they now fall into the collectible category.

    I sold almost all my 1oz silver bullions but I kept the whole series of Britannias (my favorite silver coin), the Philharmonics (I am European) and few slabbed Silver Eagle (I have to honor my host!).

    I like the Pandas and the Libertads too. The Maples are not that good IMO.

    I started the series of the Russian bullion, the 1oz silver coin George the Victorious. They are really really nice.

    Also the Elephants from Somalia look good, but not great.

    Don't like the australian silver.

    I see the highest premiums over spot.
    Early Pandas
    Austrailia Zodiac Series I
    Brits
    Austrailia Kangaroos
    ASEs
    the rest

    I don't know so much about premiums, but I go for ASEs, Maples, and Libertads exclusively as far as govt issued bullion goes. Maybe I'll extend into philharmonics in the future, but since I'm only buying 10oz a month or so, I've been limiting myself on types. I'm working on filling a roll each of 2010 maples and generic libertads at the moment.

    On thing I have notices is that spotting is more distracting on maples due to the more brilliant finish. It is my favorite design of the three, however.

    That seems about right to me. The Brit silver bullion is the most expensive coin. The Panda is not too far behind based on past prices that I have seen. Most of the 1-oz Kookaburra silver bullion that I have seen have prices between $25-$30.
