From a resale perspective, would you purchase
1oz silver generic rounds, or 1oz foreign rounds,
such as Maples, Philharmonics, etc. Assuming
your purchase prices were the same?

    Why? What's wrong with them?

    Buy one of each. Wait a week. Then try to resell them.

    From a resale perspective, I'd ask my customer what he wants. Resell was never my choice.

    The foreign rounds mentioned are actually officially minted coins. Much, much better odds of stated purity. Go with them.

    Assuming prices were the same? Maples. They have a strong following.

    But I'm not a fan of any of those options for physical silver. So I probably wouldn't want them.

    Eagles, or better yet, 90%, would be better to me.

    Kind of an unrealistic question as I have yet to find the prices of said comparison to be the same.

    Phillies, like American Eagles are exempt from reporting.



    Now I'm talking gold as I would not buy silver under any circumstance.



    When buying both back in the day, I never spent more than 15% of the loot on silver. The lion's share ALWAYS goes to gold.

    Top, can you please elaborate on why you wouldn't buy silver under any circumstance? Is it a storage issue?

    90% is my favorite, when not priced at ridiculous premiums.

    That being said, any silver (and gold) has its place and I consider nearly all forms... nothing wrong what so ever with philharomics.

    I prefer gold....and if buying silver, I prefer ASE's....although I do have some novelty rounds and rectangles. Cheers, RickO

    Yep. Maples, Libertads over generic any day.

  • jdimmickjdimmick Posts: 9,766 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I can easily place ASE and maples

    Hard to sell generics, philh, other odd balls


    the only generic that are easily to sell for me are prospector

    Given the "same price" issue, of course take the government minted and issued coin. It's real money.

    well maybe then not stack the Philharmonics, but they have a very desirable design!

  • derrybderryb Posts: 37,584 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't put coins in the same category as rounds. Go with the foreign coins, preferably the maples since US buyers are more comfortable with them.
