Fun ways to accumulate silver

Higashiyama

If you believe that silver is still a good store of value, and want to continue to accumulate silver, because metal value seems to be passing numismatic value on a lot of items, there are quite a few amusing options, such as:

(1) Rolls of Barber or Walking Liberty halves

(2) A short set of circulated Walkers

(3) A complete set of circulated Franklin halves

yep! I am doing a dansco franklin album and whitman mercury dime album with the coins I have bought from other members and from shows as mere 90%. Nearly done too minus the key dates.

That's been my plan for the last couple of years. It satisfies my need to stack and collect. But at 20+ times face I'm not sure I'll be buying much in the near future

Timely post. Went to a show a few weekends ago and bought a nice full rim 1914 barber quarter for $5. Got to thinking about it and realized that I could start putting together nice circ sets of common barbers, mercs and WLHs for melt or darn close to it! If silver pulls back, my new quarter might stay at $5.

Nothing wrong with a little predatory stashification. I went to a show last weekend and grabbed a few walkers for my book 1916-1947. The only bad thing is that they are gettin' a whole lot more than 50 cents for them now...darn. There's another show this weekend and I'm going to go do it again. So my strategy this next time is to buy a few dates I need for my walker book that have a little numismatic premium on them and after that deal is done, see if I can get a small handful of vg's or so at spotish or so as an afterdeal from the same dealer...might work.
