I buy whatever is best deal for me in my situation to sell. My two Coin shops near me pay .50 below for generic and 1.00 over for eagles, maples, etc. so I buy whichever covers that spread for me.

great video the only problem with some criminals is they aren't smart enough to figure out counterfeiting currency is worse than counterfeiting goods. The ones who do the counterfeiting are, but the ones 3 times down the line are not. And that is the problem eventually it ends up in someones hands who sells it and has done nothing wrong except they bought it from someone else.

Legal tender only has to be accepted by the government that issues it for the use of paying taxes and government bills. In the US stores do not have to accept US money, or do not have to accept all denomination of said money. But other laws make it more difficult for banks to begin issuing their own currency.

I stick with reputable online dealers. If I'm buying elsewhere it's only when I can physically see the silver and verify its real. I won't buy from joe schmo sight un seen. Even the stuff I get from a reputable online dealer I still test ping, magnet, specific gravity, which includes weight when you do it. Check your stuff well guys.

Just started stacking. Went to a local jeweler yesterday to see if he had any silver to sell. He told me that the place he deals with will buy government silver no problem. Generic they will smelt and have assayed at sellers expense.

I am much more confident buying on eBay after a few lessons from you guys. I know what to look for now, but you still need to make sure you are getting a good deal and not getting caught up in the "bid wars". Personally I prefer government over generic, but will still stack both for enjoyment.

In the United States, the secret service gets involved to fight counterfeiting of US coinage. Other sovereign coins are good, but US officials view other world sovereign and generics the same. Only U.S. legal tender coins have an advantage in America.

also a big factor for govt silver is that its legal tender.... here in canada the silver maple has a $5 worth, so i can take 1999 silver maples across the international border without declading because 1999 silver coins have a legal tender value of $9995...if you have $10,000 or more you must declare. but the actual worth of silver is almost $60,000. BBBUUUTTTT then again 1999 silver ounces would weight a shit ton.... way better to do that with gold.... 199 gold ounces with $50 legal tender valve, you could bring almost $400,000 worth of gold!!!
