I too flip my dug clad for silver....
I mix it up by buying different styles of silver rounds....
Pandas, Roos, Eagles, Maple Leafs, and any other variety that catches my eye.
At my core, I’m a coin collector, silver bars don’t turn me on at all.

Yep, you got it! That's why I love this time of year, I cash in all my change from the year and use my Christmas bonus from work to pick up some nice pieces for my collection.

I cash in my clad at the bank and only use that money for silver coins at the coin shows twice a year.
The scrap metal I find is sorted into 5 gallon buckets labeled copper, brass, brass shell casing, lead, steel, aluminum and aluminum breakage. Since I dug it up, might as well cash it in at the scrap yard. Those funds are saved for gold coins.
I like to tell people I turned lead to gold.
