Any metal should always have some kinda value , That value I bet will equate with product values .

Guys for me though the garden path has a truth . I was not organized and as known was hit. I guess 20 ounces were also lifted . So clearly the draw back is security and ultimately ones safety if said home invasion could occur with a choice you life or the GOODS. .

Once there was a Twilight Zone show that about 3 or 4 families with an appearance as best of friends
till some kinda radio announcement told of imminent danger of bombs
well the one family with the bomb shelter had there home trashed and finally bomb shelter broken into by there friend neighbors
ONLY to find out it was a false alarm .

On ebay eagles seem to sell better / at my local guy the premium is usually $3 compared to $2
wile silver is silver eagles even to me are extra real , more trust . even though counterfeit silver coins do happen on all types in the after market
On ebay i notice silver sellers from china seem to have gotten a little hurt in reputation

For investment, I will always go for land. Not houses - plain, undeveloped land. I bought 60 acres in '95 for $62,500. Have had timber sales which have returned the initial purchase price. Built a house and garage for $118,000. Valuation is now over $300,000.
