Yup, TP, I saw that same info. I believe it and that is why my friend and I wanted to buy coins or bars. We were just at a loss as to who we could trust, and who we could get a square deal from.
We both believe silver has a better future % of increase ahead than gold. (Plus it can be bought in smaller denominations in case we need to use it as barter if/when the $ goes down the tubes, as so many predict.)
I already have silver in Ishare, but wanted to get my next purchases in actual physical silver. Coins seem to be the way to start the purchase since the purity is easier to verify, and the melt down value is easy to check. (And that is what I'm looking to pay, not the "collector's" price. I can buy lower valued / poorer quality coins since I'm only interested in the silver content.)
Thanks for the info TP. It is much appreciated.

Don't take my word for it, Do your own research! Then you will know it's true!
