Thanks for the replies and I understand what you're saying, just but not sure exactly how to execute it well! I will keep studying and learn what I can. I'm looking to buy silver and put it in a safe for the next 30 or so years as a long term investment. I do not plan to try to buy it and flip it every few years, although I understand that would be the best way to invest. I am more interested in "tangible" retirement along with my IRA.

I may pick up a few ounces here and there and hopefully learn as I go. As someone very new to silver, the silver bars and rounds are easier to understand than the 90% dimes and all the other coinage, but again I understand this is just do to my newbie lack of education in commodities.
Again thank you for your input and advice!!
