Are There Secret Or Hidden Ways To Invest In Silver Cheaply?

Actually this tip is not much of a secret, or even that well hidden, though some silver bullion gurus use it as their pitch to get you to subscribe to their newsletter. Some of these ads will say something like, Buy Silver For $3.

This website does not hide it, but  promotes this idea on the front page with our free US Silver Value Calculator. So, let me describe it in detail.

The So-Called Secret Silver Buying Tip

• A lot of US silver coins made before 1964 were 90 percent silver. Some other coins are 40 percent silver. If these are circulated, some people refer to them as “junk” coins or junk silver. However, they are hardly junk, but just may not have a lot of numismatic value. They are still valuable for the silver they contain!
• If you are very lucky, you may even find some in circulation, though that is fairly uncommon. I have read about people who still go by the bank to pick up rolls of coins to search for them. Sometimes they get lucky. Some people even get them in change at a store. This is rarer still. While this may be an effective method of finding treasure, it is probably very time consuming for the amount of silver you can find.
• Buying junk silver, like bags of US silver dimes or quarters, is usually a very affordable and low premium way to start. You may even get lucky and find a coin in your bag that is worth more than melt. Again, most of these bags have been picked over, so that may be rare.
• Where can you buy old US silver coins? You may find them at flea markets, EBay, auctions, or even in coin stores.

Are There Other Top Secret And Hidden Ways To Buy Silver?

Hopefully, you get that this title is a little tongue in cheek by now. Anyway, I have scored some silver candlesticks at a yard sale. I picked them up for $3, and sold them for $30 each to a local coin dealer. Be careful though, because pewter can look like silver, and it is easy to get fooled. I figured for three bucks I could either have candlesticks or make a nice profit.

The Usual Suspects

If you’ve been thinking about getting into gold or coins, the first thing you want to do is READ THIS!

Did You Do Your Due Diligence Before Investing In Precious Metals?

I’ll tell you who I am and what I’ve been through. I’ve done all your due diligence for you, there is no need to replicate what I will depict, unless you have a lot of time to throw away, or you are a masochist. I’ll answer all of your questions here, or you can contact me later, and I will give you all you need to render a wise business decision, all the facts, examples, and questions you haven’t thought of, but that you should ask.

This information is crucial to gold buyer, because no one wants to divulge this information. If they did you probably wouldn’t buy from them, and this is why the coin selling industry isn’t fond of me.

The Big Gold Sellers

So you’re headed in right direction, but you know nothing or very little about this arena. This market can be very rewarding or create a scenario for failure if you venture into it without some knowledge or at least a good consultant to assist you in your acquisitions. There are many good consultants out there from the Big Gold selling entities you may have seen on TV or Radio. We will refer to them as “the usual suspects” they have been in the business of selling gold and coins for many years.
The guy on the other end of the phone at a big gold seller will be happy to assist you, and they will inform you, but they do have a personal agenda to sell you coins/ bullion, and the purpose of this book is to alert you to the many nuances of gold or coin purchasing/ ownership, so you don’t get into a situation of being upside down in a counter productive investment vehicle, because you thought you were doing the right thing and you found out later that that in hindsight you were mistaken!

Gold is great  but where  can you accumulate it?  After carefully reviewing all the Internet sites, and talking to many representatives from large and small coin selling companies. One thing is congruent.  They want you to buy from them, they have  all  been in the business for many years,  they are the old established firms, we’ve  dealt with the coin/bullion buying  public for years.  They all have  testimonials. And  they  all will sell you coins and or bullion.

 Their  objective is to SELL you their gold products.   But they don’t necessarily put the  purchaser’s needs  first  and  that’s OK    we’re in a  capitalistic  society, and they are entitled to make  a profit, but maybe their  profit line is too extreme.

 I call  these sellers  the “ usual suspects”, for  a couple of  reasons.   They all  recommend the  same  product,  they all   wont  mention the spread or  load  as we will get into soon,  and they  all  are hesitant to mention  some  very salient  points like buyback,!  We will  also be  getting into  because   that’s  the most important  part of you gold  ownership!.  Not  just the   accumulating  but the liquidating  portion of the equation.  Which no one really wants to mention, but  I will, and that’s  another reason  why they aint  fond of me!

Before you dial that number you see posted on a FOX news advertisement, in an AARP magazine, or anywhere else, please take some time to become an informed consumer! Some people dabble in gold, but others invest tens of thousands of dollars. There is a right way and a wrong way to do this.
