Is buying random silver, misc from retailers like SD Bullion the equivalent in value as buying it new, just appearance wise makes it a few dollars cheaper?
There’s a difference between bullion (rounds, bars, etc., issued by random private mints) vs coins (issued by government mints). The coins are well-recognized and trusted for their silver content (such as Silver Eagles, and junk silver that is old silver dimes/quarters). Certain reputable private mints will have bars/rounds that are well-recognized and trusted too. Old junk silver (dimes, quarters, etc) is just worth the melt value of the silver content, and is good to have in case of SHTF emergency bartering. Uncirculated Silver Eagles and certain other coins will sell with a premium due to collector’s value though.
Haha I feel it, just did my 3rd order and the biggest at ordering 10oz, thought I was doing pretty good for a noob, got to start pumping my numbers up
If I may ask a Q..
