Question by : Why do people buy Silver from ebay when it is cheaper with APMEX?
I was comparing the end price of auctions on ebay for 1 roll of Silver American Eagles and I found out that during the weekend they sell for about $ 800, which makes $ 40 per coin without shipping. Currently Apmex sells those at about less than $ 37 without shipping. Why do people take their chances on ebay, rather than apmex?

Question by g-money: Which silver coin is best for investment?
I would like to get out of US Dollars and invest my cash into some "real money" like silver. However I do not know what is best for investment purposes.

1) Silver American Eagles .999
2) Morgan Dollar
3) Peace Dollar

Also, I hear that in times of an economic crisis, there is the possibility of bullion to be confiscated. With that in mind do you prefer the Morgan or Peace dollar?

silver investing is it better to buy 100oz bar of silver or American Eagle coins of the same dollar amount

Answer by Jim W
Neither one is a good financial investment at this time. Since you are asking about a precious metal investment, you should consider US junk silver coins. These have a secure base of their value, they also can be sold with out needing an assay which your Ag bar would need. The gold coins are bullion coins and are based on the gold spot price which is very volatile at this time. You really need to do some research on precious metals from numismatic stand point and from an economic stand point. The TV hyped bullion coins are not worth the time to order them from a financial standpoint IMO.
A 100 oz bar of silver would be about $ 10,500, gold is at $ 880, so you would get 10 Au coins, a $ 1000 face silver bag has 920 oz of silver and has a floor of $ 1000, it would cost about the same as your 10 of your silver bars, but you can buy partial bags, 1/2, 1/4, and sometimes, 1/10 bag. These are just some choices. Good luck.
