Buying Silver and Buying Gold, silver bars or mint coins

Here are some secrets to buying silver and buying gold. You have some choices such as 1000 oz silver bars, 400 oz gold bars, 100 oz, 10 oz or 1 oz silver and gold bars and my favorite 1 oz mint coins.If you want 100 oz. Silver Bars, or bar bullion, (also in 10 oz Silver Bars) to preserve value, go with J.M.s (Johnson Matthey), Engelhard, Sunshine Minting, U.S. Assay, A-Mark, Silvertowne, and APMEX bars. These brands are good because they are well known and trusted and have a stamp of authenticity (and they stack well in safe!).Whatever form you decide on when investing in silver, make sure it’s a purity of .999 fine silver whether buying bullion from a bullion dealer, coin shop, or Ebay.

Bars are good because they have the narrowest bid/ask spread among bullion investments.

ENGLEHARD 10 0Z SILVER BARS - $50 AN OUNCE? - SERIAL NUMBER LOOKUP

Engelhard's are so awesome! Especially the 5oz bars which are getting harder to find today... Engelhard silver bars are among the best. They are selling on ebay for over spot. Greg talks about silver bars, bubbles, crashes and buying silver. I did a searched of recently completed auctions on eBay and see them for about $40-$60 over spot, so that makes it about $4-$6 over spot per ounce. Not too bad. Buy it now prices mean nothing. Just means someone has their sights a bit high. Completed auctions tell you what the free market is actually paying.Found a 10 oz Engelhard on eBay for 541 US (374 euro):)

Bob Chapman: The Financial Powers That Be Are In A Trap of Their Own Making

If Silver goes to 5 an oz that just means I could buy a ton of it. Hahaha Who ever holds paper and has faith in the the paper game WILL LOSE! This may be the greatest exchange of wealth in the history of the world. The people are waking up are going to plunder the bankers by buying silver and gold. Get rid of the Dollar Bill if you know what you're doing...Pretty soon they'll be using it for Toilet Paper...Bye Bye FIAT CURRENCY CRAP.......only a wise people will understand. The dollar is printed out of thin air. You cant print money out of thin air. Gold and silver is honest you cant counterfiet it. George Washington, "Paper money has had the effect in your state it will always have to ruin commerce oppress the poor and honest and open the door for every specie of fraud and injustice."..When we reach the end of this destruction of fiat currencies and the ensuing precious metals bubble, those of us holding physical will probably trade it for real things like necessities of life, homes, and even luxury items. Alternatively, we may trade it for the new gold-backed currency that appears in our locale.
silver investing By Bob Chapman : May 11th, 2011.In legislation just proposed, and I don't know by whom, nor do I have a number yet, the Dept of Labor has proposed a re-definition of who is a fiduciary, not under the Securities laws, but under ERISA, the law that governs tax advantaged retirement accounts, such as 401K and IRAs and it probably will include all retirement assets, we don't have a definite direction yet of what they intend to do but it is my guess they want to limit those investments only to US government debt. They may include some blue chips or funds, I don't know. They may allow other high-graded fixed income products. These DOL-ERISA rules override all SEC rules. We don't know the final form of the legislation, nor do we know whether it will be passed, but my guess it will be. The government desperately needs to get those retirement funds invested in government debt. I would seriously think about terminating 401ks and IRAs by transferring the assets -- without commission -- into a personal account it then becomes a taxable event. I also believe there is a good chance that taxes will be higher next year. There is also an outside chance that retirement assets could be frozen -- such events would be negative on the general market because government would be directing brokerage houses to sell retirement assets. This is all in the planning stage, but it is very real.





MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet
