fractional silver and what if?

[GarouLady]

Just wondering if anyone has bought fractional silver. I don't mean junk silver but I have seen 1/10, 1/2 ounces of silver on youtube. Very cool, especially the 1/10 "wheat" cents. Would love to get some of those but I can't afford the minimum 100 ounces I saw on one website.

Also I was wondering if the government put silver coinage out again, would you buy it in the rolls or would you still search old rolls for the older silver? Idea kinda popped into my head and I just had to ask.

Take care whoever is on the east coast. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hugs and Smiles, Garoulady

Silver is cheap, so I wouldnt buy less than a OZ if I was buying for straight bullion, morgans, dimes, quarters are a different story of course...

I agree Fractional silver seems useless to me, you said

on youtube

1/10, 1/2 ounces of silver on youtube sounds like a scam.
just saying Carefull !

I have a bunch of mercury dimes and silver quarters.
I love fractional silver.

 

[GarouLady]

No I actually saw it on youtube. Some guy wa showing off a pile of fractional silver he bought and where he bought it from. The only true fractional silver I have right now is about 5 half ounces I bought when I was a teenager.

Oh well, Thanks for the input. Thought I would ask.

I agree.

It's not necessarily a bad idea if you're paying spot, but it's an exceedingly bad idea if you're paying a surcharge...

...just think of your mercy as silver pennies.

Most fractional bullion is WAY over priced. You pay a premium for the small size. Just by 1oz or 5oz bars or rounds or better yet silver U.S dimes. Would you ever need a smaller piece of silver? Maybe.... But not likely and if you do you could always cut it in half.....lol

 

[vetarun]

Is this still the CRH forum or silver bullion forum? No, they are not going to put silver in spending currency again. Seriously?

So good points here, let me break these up into chunks...

Yes besides 10 and 1 oz ingots I buy all the 5 and 10 gram units my LCS has for sale. Remember 31 grams roughly per troy oz so six 5s or three 10s make for good "change" if you needed it break an oz. I would stick with grams, 1/4 and 1/2 ounces are hard to use. Think about this, a 1 gram piece right now is worth a little over a buck, a 5 around $6 so you're talking small enough units to use like you use slight more than a $1, $5, $10. A 1/2 oz of silver right now its around $16, kind of an odd amount a still a bit bulky for fractionals. However still an option.

Would love to get some of those but I can't afford the minimum 100 ounces I saw on one website.

Keep an eye out for an honest coin shop on these, theres no markup in secondary market. I pay 5% over spot for these, even the little 1 gram units, same as if I was buying 1 to 10 oz bars. I just picked up a roll of nickel size 5 gram .999s that are in the design of the ASE, very nice looking.

Also I was wondering if the government put silver coinage out again, would you buy it in the rolls or would you still search old rolls for the older silver? Idea kinda popped into my head and I just had to ask.

I think most of use would do both and many do both now (with ASEs, foreign, rounds). Some are too cheap and only do CRH but i don't trust any one media. My silver is mixed 40%, 90%, ASEs, ingots, foreign, etc. Same with gold and plat, cause you dont know what could get called in if there was another presidental order. This is why 90% or ASEs alone are a bad idea. Sure you might not turn them in if you want to go illegal in that case but you want some silver you can legally trade with.

Silvertowne has 1oz bars that break into 1/4 oz bars under a brand called "Stagecoach". They sell for a fairly low there with free shipping on alot of items.

I have bought many ounces of these.. I absolutely love the design and plan on buying much more.. Often times since people don't purchase fractional rounds, you can get these with no premium.. You just have to wait for Provident to put them on clearance and then buy.. I love fractional rounds, but only if they are at the right price..

Thats not bad and the design is nice but lets look at this: 1/10 = 3.1g = 4.28+ shipping. Maybe slightly lower if you buy alot. So 10 oz worth = $408 before shipping.

What I'm talking about is something a 5.05 gram bars (1/6th oz) for $5.50 each no shipping. For 10oz thats $330 no shipping. Like I said if you can get you LCS dealer to put them aside for you let the first guy take the small unit hit.

You have to wait until the bullion is on clearance and then buy.. Also I never buy small amounts.. I save up, wait for the dip and then make my purchase..

the incuse design is great on that AG mini indian. also the matte finish.

I would like them edges not to be reeded. but I would buy a couple at the markup - shipping is what deters me.

Obviously, but the shipping isn't that bad as long as you wait to buy massive purchases.. I also do not have the convenience of purchasing bullion anywhere near me, so I don't really have much of a choice.. I will also often wait for Provident to offer free shipping as a promotion.. Often times they will only offer if you are purchasing more than 500 in bullion, but I don't buy anything less than that so it is a great deal for me..
