    I’ve been wanting to get some nice sterling pieces to display, but there can be big premiums on certain items. Lately I’ve been hoarding circulated Morgans and Peace dollars.
    My silver hold is always short. When I accumulate a decent amount of silver, and the price is enough to turn a profit (even if it’s small), I sell it and buy gold. Gold is my long term hold.
    I’ve been all over the map with silver. Safe ASEs, generic bars and rounds, vintage poured bars, constitutional. I still love it, but I don’t like storing it. I only have a few pieces of silver that always remain in my collection, but otherwise...it’s a constantly rotating inventory.

    ASE’s and junk silver mostly, but whatever I can get at spot or close. Get enough, trade for gold bullion. Silver is too bulky and heavy to keep a lot.

    ASEs, RCM 10 oz. bars and USLV

    Bars, bells, and whistles. Not to mention rounds, Eagles, pandas and maple leafs. Every shape and size is good. How about them 5 ounce pucks ?

    Here’s my wag.

    Eagles/maples/libertads/Aussie stuff for ozers rounds.

    90% preferred in halves, with respective prices per roll and issue - the older the better. Peace / Morgan’s by the roll at stacker prices at a strong #2.

    For oz bars JM/Engs but I seem to have a hankering for the kangaroos lately.

    10oz varies, bars and kooks/koalas rounds about even.

    Leaning toward hunting down Spanish pesetas for big world 90% after our Xmas trip last year and getting one on the relative cheap in Barcelona (same price as stacker Morgan/peace I like).

    I like pirate chest action from all over the world with variety. Long term hold that I can play with and not worry about....

    Coinstar and the biggest best 24/7 coin store on planet earth (eBay).

    Primarily 90% junk and ASEs but I'll buy just about anything if the price is right.

    Primarily hand picked 90% silver, as well as circulated Morgan and Peace Dollars.

    Primarily ASE's, Kennedy halves, Franklin halves....I do have lots of Morgans, silver proof sets and all the junk silver I find in change and coinstars..... Oh yeah, I do have some generic silver rounds and one ounce bars. Cheers, RickO

    I find it kind of ironic. I personally have a hard time stomaching the premium on ASE's. Not for everyone for sure. However, nearly 100% of the time it doesn't make any difference if I put one tube or 10 in my case at a show-I go home with zero left. It just takes one person.
    Identifiable generic rounds never come home either. If I'm too high then I just sell mine last.
    My favorite is vf-xf WLH. People love the look.

    Downtown, thanks. You had me b4 'old face'.
    Edit age to ase.

    Have a nice day

    Favorite? ASE Monster Boxes and ATB 5 ozs.

    Wisest? Maybe not....
