To cold to much outside. So I spent the weekend bidding on uncirculated 90% silver coins on E-bay. I bid them all to current melt value including shipping. After placing 55 bids. I won 4 1964d Washington Quarters. I like the fact that not only did I get the silver content, But have a bit of collectability. Silver is set for a major rise in the next three months. The two local dealers in my area are allways out of junk silver. When they do have it they want to high a premium for my taste.

I do not want the added expense of the ad. I do not want to meet people at other locations, because I do not want them knowing where I live. I feel that opens you up problems with robberies etc. Thanks for your post1

Do you have a craig'slist in your area?
Ads are free and you can meet at a well populated fast food place for mutual safety.
Nobody that I buy silver from knows where I live.

You need to be more careful on what you buy.
Make sure it is silver
Know the exact weight in grams
Know how much you are willing to pay per gram and don't pay more.

right now silver is $12.81 which makes sterling $11.85 whick makes a gram .35¢
